La Escuelita

So how do you give the gift of bilingualism to your child when you are not a native speaker of another language yourself? You send you child to La Escuelita! My daughter has been attending La Escuelita for the last four years, starting in their Extended Playgroups at the age of 18 months. She is now 5 and about to graduate their full day Pre-​K program this month. She is confident, able to navigate playground social situations with ease, writing and recognizing written words in English and Spanish and oh yeah, she’s BILINGUAL! Why wouldn’t you send your child here? We will miss La Escuelita with all of our heart; from what I hear public school Kindergarten falls short in the hugs and cuddles department. So happy we invested in such a wonderful, loving community for her preschool experience and gave her an early and strong foundation in another language where she was able to acquire it in a fun, loving and engaging way.

This school offers an unbelievable supportive, community environment for parents interested in raising their kids to be bilingual in Spanish. As usual, the unique sensibility and sensitivity of this school comes from the top — the directors who invest their energy and spirit into making this an amazing school. Detractors may say that the school plant (basement of a Greek Orthodox Church) is limiting, but your child won’t become a better and more educated person by having a class with a good view. It what goes on in the classroom that matters, and at La Escuelita, everything is very well considered and implemented by the teachers and directors.
