Thank you for helping us meet 100% of our fundraising goal!
La Escuelita serves children ages 2 1/2 - 5, who do not otherwise access pre-school education. Their parents are taking Adult Education classes such as English, pre-GED and more. Unfortunately, many parents give up their own educational dreams because they cannot find trusted and affordable childcare or pre-school; La Casa’s Escuelita eliminates that barrier for families. STEM-based education and “The Creative Curriculum” guide classes. Each child’s development is measured and evaluated while dedicated teachers ensure children stay on track, preventing long term disparities. La Casa serves an average of 40-50 children and parents, primarily mothers, through co-located parent education classes.
