“STEMS School aspires to raise future generations of leaders with a strong moral character and excellence in both Islamic and academic education. We strive to make the world a better place for our families, our school, our greater South Florida community, and ourselves.“
A Strong Start in Pre-K at Salah Tawfik School
At Salah Tawfik Elementary and Middle School (STEMS), our Pre-K program provides a strong foundation for your child’s educational journey, rooted in our mission to “provide quality education in the best Islamic environment.” Guided by our vision, we nurture confident, spiritually strong, and academically capable Muslim youth who feel a deep sense of belonging in their school and community.
Recognized as one of the top-rated VPK programs in Broward County, our Pre-K program blends academic excellence with Islamic values, ensuring that children are prepared not only for kindergarten but also for a life of faith, purpose, and growth. Our curriculum aligns with both Florida Early Learning and VPK standards, while also prioritizing tarbiyah—the holistic nurturing of the mind, heart, and soul.
Our Curriculum Supports Whole-Child Development
Academic Foundations
Children explore early math and literacy skills through engaging, hands-on experiences. Tools such as math mats, counting bears, letter cards, and pattern blocks help spark curiosity and build a love for learning.
Language & Communication
Themed books, songs, and daily storytelling develop listening, speaking, and pre-writing skills—laying the groundwork for strong communication in both English and Arabic.
Islamic Integration & Tarbiyah
Faith is seamlessly woven into every part of the day. Students engage in daily Qur’an memorization, Arabic instruction, and lessons in Islamic manners (adab). Teachers model compassion, respect, and kindness, guiding children in how to embody Islamic values in everyday interactions.
Social & Emotional Growth
Through group activities and play-based learning, children build cooperation, confidence, and empathy. Teachers nurture emotional regulation, problem-solving, and character-building as part of daily routines.
Digital Engagement
With the Funshine Digital platform, learning becomes interactive and fun. It enhances classroom lessons, offers creativity-driven action.
More Than a Classroom
At Salah Tawfik School, early education is about more than letters and numbers—it’s about creating a foundation of love, faith, and security. In every classroom, children are supported by nurturing teachers who see their potential and care deeply about their well-being.
We partner closely with families to ensure that each child feels known, valued, and prepared for the journey ahead. From the first smile at drop-off to the lasting lessons rooted in Islamic values, we make sure every day begins with purpose and ends with joy.
