Escuelita Del Alma

About

!Bienvenidos a Escuelita del Alma! This “Little School of the Soul” was originally founded by Dina Flores in 2000 to provide childcare for employees of Las Manitas, the legendary Congress Avenue cafe. Its families include a diverse and eclectic range of ethnic, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds. The students, who range in age from infants to school age (after-school care and summer camp), are immersed in the Spanish language throughout the day. In this environment, when a child participates in an activity they learn the educational concept and the language at the same time. Research shows that children are most receptive to learning language when they are young—ideally before age 10. Learning a second language improves communication skills in the primary language, and performance in all academic subjects as well as standardized testing. Our daycare, after-care, and summer camp programs promote language development and social and emotional learning. We offer full time and part time care for preschool students that include organic and nutritious lunches and snacks that are prepared onsite. Along with competitive tuition rates, we offer a flexible schedule for both full and part-time students. We have 2-day, 3-day, 4-day and 5-day programs from 7:00 am – 5:45 pm, Mon-Fri. The day is balanced between active group activities, quiet/nap time, singing and dancing traditional Latin American songs, and learning basic kindergarten readiness skills.
