Our programs

Elim Kids Academy offers a thoughtfully balanced early childhood program that blends play-based exploration with early academic learning.

All learning experiences are developmentally appropriate and introduced through a balance of child-led play and guided instruction. This approach allows children to grow naturally at each stage of development—from early attachment and sensory exploration to more structured learning and kindergarten readiness.

"My child has attended this school for two years, and it's been a wonderful experience. I was initially worried about how she would adjust, but unlike her previous school, she loved this school from the very first day. All of the teachers here are warm and caring, and the program is diverse and thoughtfully structured. The meals are also well-balanced. I'm very grateful to everyone at this school for their dedication and care."

"우리 아이가 엘림 다니기 시작한지 벌써 6개월이 지나가고 있어요. 첫 아이고 낯도 많이 가려서 처음 에 참 걱정이 많았는데 따뜻하고 다정한 선생님들 덕분에 적응을 잘해서 안심하고 보내고 있습니다. 한국 음식이 점심으로 나오니 점심을 든든하게 챙겨먹일 수 있음에 감사하고 한국어도 부모가 안 가르친 단어들도 배워서 오는 점이 신기합니다. 매달 여러 이벤트 행사들 참가하며 재밌게 지내는 아이를 보면 참 잘 보냈다 생각듭니다. 혹시 어린이집 고민이라면 또 NOVA 사시면 강추합니다!!"

"We've sent our 3 kids here for the past 3 years. Our kids enjoy going to school and run to class every morning to greet their teachers. The teachers are very caring and treat our kids like they are family. They have fun and learn so much every day. We especially love that they are learning Korean. Our kids speak Korean better than we do! I highly recommend this school and have introduced so many of our close friends as well."

"My daughter loves her new school Elim! As a teacher, I am very impressed with their curriculum. They prepare the pre-K kids very well for kindergarten. My daughter already knows a lot of sight words and recognizes them in books. She loves learning and doesn't want to stop writing even at home. My son also attended Elim and learned so much. He was very well prepared for kindergarten! The teachers are very nurturing and make leaning engaging and fun."
