The King’s Academy recently announced a significant gift from The Frank DiMino Foundation that will allow for the construction of the Frank DiMino Early Childhood Center on its campus. The center will be an extension and foundation for the school’s JK-12th grade program. The 10,000 square foot Frank DiMino Early Childhood Center will serve nearly 200 students with an enriching and developmentally appropriate designed program and curriculum that will prepare two, three and four year-olds for elementary school and beyond.

The King’s Academy is grateful for the tremendous generosity Frank DiMino and The Frank DiMino Foundation has shown our school. Mr. DiMino has truly made an impact at TKA and throughout the community. His investment will allow The King’s Academy to reach students at an earlier age with essential early childhood education and care. For more than 50 years, The King’s Academy has been providing truly distinctive Christian education with a commitment to excellence. The early childhood center will be comprised of caring educators who understand the commitment it takes to lead the youngest members of our school community. The center will challenge students in a vibrant and engaging environment while developing age-appropriate social, developmental, and cognitive skills where their natural sense of curiosity, wonder and joyful exuberance is encouraged. The curriculum will provide age-appropriate, high-quality academics based on standards derived from current research on brain-based learning and the Florida Early Learning Standards.

Mr. Frank DiMino is no stranger to The King’s Academy or the community. His name is displayed on many local and national facilities in honor of his generosity. He has been a wonderful supporter of The King’s Academy through the endowment of the school’s nationally recognized DiMino Engineering & Technology Program, support for the school’s championship Competitive Cheerleading Team, naming the Frank DiMino Science Center, and the Frank DiMino Student Union.
