Kiilys Kids

Funding fit for Kiilys Kids

Kiilys Kids is listed by the Florida Department of Education as a participating school in the Florida Tax Credit / Family Empowerment Scholarship (FTC/FES-EO) program. That means a Miami-Dade family can bring the state scholarship here: $8,745 per student in grades K-3; $8,140 per student in grades 4-8; $7,942 per student in grades 9-12 for the 2026-27 school year, paid quarterly to the school through EMA.

The school reports to the state that it serves students in 7 disability categories (listed below). Students with a qualifying diagnosis or IEP may use the Unique Abilities Scholarship (FES-UA), which averages about $10,000 and can also pay for therapies and tutoring alongside tuition.

Because the school serves pre-K, ask whether it is a Florida VPK provider — the 4-year-old year is free for every Florida child — and whether it accepts School Readiness child care assistance. A child who starts in VPK here can continue into kindergarten on the state scholarship without changing schools.

Christian and church-affiliated schools often offer member rates, sponsorships and sibling discounts; church-run schools may also qualify for the Edu Fund partner scholarship, which has no income cap.
