Our Mission
At Circle of Hope School, we nurture young children in a safe, loving environment that supports brain development, emotional growth, and early learning. Grounded in LSF’s decades-long legacy in early childhood education, our school combines evidence-based curriculum with innovative tools to build strong foundations in literacy, learning and life. We believe every child has something unique to offer and with the right support, every child can flourish.
Our Vision
We envision a future where all children enter school confident, curious and prepared to succeed. We do this by embarking on a joyful early education that sparks a lifelong love of learning.
A Message from Our Leadership
As a trusted provider of early childhood services across Florida, LSF created Circle of Hope School to meet a growing need in our community, families looking for comprehensive care and developmentally rich education from a team that truly sees and supports every child.
Circle of Hope School brings together LSF’s proven expertise in early learning with a tuition-based model designed for working families. Here, children benefit from comprehensive care, research-backed curriculum and an environment built to support their social, emotional, and academic development. It’s a place where families feel confident, children feel loved and learning happens every day in meaningful, joyful ways.
We’re proud to introduce Circle of Hope School as the next step in our mission to bring healing, hope and help to those we serve, starting with the youngest among us.
