From 9:00 – 2:00 Monday through Friday, we offer an educational curriculum that includes basic literacy and numeracy skills. We supplement this with weekly music, dance and yoga lessons. Instruction is delivered in Spanish. Our new after-school program is for 4-8 year old children and introduces them to English language.

News and UpdatesIn 2020, we started a vegetable and herb garden for the children to tend. They love planting the seeds, watering and taking home packets of basil, mint, tomatoes and peppers. They are also learning how to compost by mixing dried leaves from the school yard with leftover food scraps from their lunches in the compost bin.
We also added an after school English program for community children aged five to nine. The teacher facilitated an interactive program where the children learned by doing. There were lots of movement and creative art activities.
Our Parents
Escuela is a cooperative. Instead of paying tuition, parents contribute their time by preparing healthy lunches, cleaning the classroom and maintaining the grounds. They attend monthly meetings and participate in special activities such as building an altar for the Day of the Dead on the town’s central plaza.
