News and UpdatesIn January, 2019, we moved to a new location in Sayulita. Escuela now has a larger, light-filled classroom with two indoor bathrooms and an apartment for the teacher. It is located on a large, shaded lot with plenty of space for a playground and a garden that the children and their parents to manage. Before we moved in, the parents cleared the overgrown lot and helped design and install the playground equipment. We will soon add a composter to teach the children how to nurture the garden with composted foods from their lunches.
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.
