Private Elementary School Program | Greater Orlando Metro
Choosing an elementary school is about so much more than academics. It is about finding a place where your child feels known, challenged, supported, and inspired to grow into the person they are becoming. At StarChild Academy, our private elementary school program gives children a strong academic foundation, caring guidance, and a joyful school community where they can build confidence, character, and curiosity. These years matter deeply. They shape how school students think about themselves, how they relate to peers, and how they approach challenges in the classroom and in life. At our private elementary school, children are supported by dedicated teachers, a rich curriculum, and a nurturing campus environment that fosters their academic and personal growth. We believe the best education helps children discover their greatest potential while also protecting their sense of wonder, creativity, and love of learning.

Our teachers bring expertise from a variety of backgrounds, including advanced degrees and years of experience supporting elementary-aged children.
About Our Private Elementary School Program
Parents often reach this stage wanting something more for their child. They want more than a place where students simply move from one grade to the next. They want a private school where their child is seen, challenged, and supported in a way that feels personal. At StarChild Academy, our private elementary school program is built for exactly that. Our mission is to provide children with the skills they need to excel in school and in life. That mission shapes every part of our elementary program. Students follow a rigorous academic path, but they also grow through arts, physical activity, teamwork, and opportunities to explore the world around them. We know that true success is not only about grades. It is about helping children become thoughtful learners, kind classmates, and confident young people who are ready for the future. Our school community welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, helping children learn alongside peers with different perspectives and experiences. That matters because education is not only about individual achievement. It is also about learning how to live and work with others, lead with empathy, and reflect respect for the larger world around them.
From Kindergarten to 5th Grade: Development Support For Every Stage
Elementary school is a time of remarkable growth. Children are building the academic, social, and emotional tools that will carry them into middle school, high school, and beyond. Our program supports students in ways that are thoughtful, intentional, and deeply personal.
- Building Strong Academic Foundations – Our private elementary school curriculum helps students develop reading comprehension, writing strength, mathematical reasoning, and analytical thinking. With SRA Open Court Reading, Saxon Math, and Singapore Math, children receive consistent academic instruction that helps them grow academically and with confidence.
- Growing Through S.T.E.A.M. and Technology – Our students explore science, engineering, arts, and technology in ways that make learning feel engaging and relevant. Through robotics, design projects, and interactive problem solving, children build curiosity and resilience. The U.S. Department of Education’s STEM initiative emphasizes strengthening STEM education nationwide, and student-focused technology experiences are closely tied to critical thinking and problem-solving.
- Supporting Social and Emotional Growth – Strong academics matter, but so does emotional well-being. Our teachers help children build healthy relationships with peers, communicate clearly, and become responsible members of the school community. Research suggests that social and emotional learning supports connectedness to school, academic attainment, interpersonal relationships, and mental well-being.
- Encouraging Creativity and the Arts – The arts are woven into our elementary experience because they help children express ideas, solve problems, and discover their voice. Through music, visual arts, and creative projects, students strengthen imagination and confidence. The National Endowment for the Arts notes that arts education supports social and emotional learning and helps students succeed both in and out of school.
- Promoting Health, Movement, and Confidence – Children need movement to learn well. Physical education and active play are important parts of our daily routine because health and learning are connected. The CDC states that regular physical activity for school-aged children supports brain health, academic performance, and lifelong well-being.

An Exceptional Preschool That Stands Apart After extensive research and multiple school changes for my first son, I can confidently say that this preschool is truly exceptional. What sets it apart is its transparency—something I found lacking in many other programs. Instead of simply dropping children off at a door and retrieving them hours later with no insight into their day, parents here have the opportunity to witness the environment, the learning process, and the overall atmosphere in which their children are growing. This openness fosters a deep sense of trust and confidence in the education and care being provided. Beyond transparency, the staff is what truly elevates this school. They are not only highly capable and efficient but also exceptionally kind, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every child. Their commitment to both the students and their families is evident in every interaction, and their dedication goes far beyond duty—it is a reflection of their passion for early childhood education. This is a place where children are not only nurtured but also meaningfully engaged in learning. The difference is unmistakable, and I advocate for this school every chance I get—at the park, the grocery store, anywhere I meet parents searching for quality education. If you are looking for a preschool that values transparency, DIVERSITY, EXCELLENCE and HEARTFELT DEDICATION, this is the one! It’s the ONLY one. Amanda Seidman

I am incredibly grateful for this preschool and the wonderful environment they have created. From day one, the warm, nurturing, and compassionate atmosphere immediately put both my little one and me at ease. The staff are absolutely amazing—patient, caring, and truly dedicated to every child's growth. Since joining, my lil guy has flourished in every way. It’s heartwarming to see him light up with joy and anticipation every morning as he heads off to school. His newfound confidence, social skills, and excitement for learning have made this experience a delightful journey for our family. I wholeheartedly appreciate all the educators for their unwavering commitment to creating such a loving and supportive space. I highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a place where their child can truly thrive.

I recently submitted a review and I do have to apologize as it looks like I was off base on the rationale. Big shout out to Ms. Deborah, being great like she always is and providing clarification as to the cameras. Our confidence in Deborah and her team is marrow deep, and I do appreciate their rationale. We have always been the greatest fans of StarChild and the staff! Our kids have loved being here and they have grown a TON. Our youngest is going through the process of potty training and we all know how fun that can be. The teachers are doing a great job helping us to get our youngest through this important phase.

The school staff is always exceptional! We are strongly considering keeping our oldest there for elementary school as well because of the experience we have had so far. Our kids and family are treated nicely and it’s been pleasant year since we have been a part of the StarChild family.
