Camps & Afterschool

Item Description

La Escuelita opened its doors in 2003 with the strong commitment to create a school around three core values, which still constitute the basis of our community:
 
Bilingualism: The only thing more amazing than watching your child progress from babbling to single words to full sentences is watching him/her do it in two languages. Using research-based practices, La Escuelita immerses children in a rich and engaging linguistic environment, fostering the development of bilingualism and biliteracy in students from all language backgrounds. The results speak for themselves, with huge benefits for all types of families: Spanish-speaking families looking for balanced growth in both Spanish and English, bilingual families seeking to preserve a heritage language, and English-speaking families desiring the incredible cognitive and cultural benefits of being bilingual.
 
Play-based learning: La Escuelita’s developmentally appropriate curriculum is apparent to parents every day. They hear about it from their children, in daily stories about the new dance they learned, the strange substance they stuck their hands into at the sensory table, the intricate block city they built that day. They hear about it from teachers, who personalize their interactions and create an environment where exploration and play drive learning. Most importantly, they see it every morning as their children bound into the classroom with a smile.After school classes provide school aged children a chance to reinforce and practice Spanish while participating in interactive content area classes.

Classes run for 15 week sessions from September 2018-January 2019.

The classes run Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays as a drop off class and children may arrive as early as 2:30 pm for snack and independent reading and choice time.

The lessons begin at 3:30pm and end at 5 pm. Classes may vary by semester and donation includes a choice between continent classes, which have included dance, movement, sports, fine art, cooking, chess, fencing, and science.
