Mission Statement

Mi Escuelita Preschool teaches English to children from all cultures and prepares them for academic success.

Description

Mi Escuelita Preschool is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1978 with the mission to teach English to children from all cultures and prepare them for academic success. While remaining strongly dedicated to the preservation of each child's cultural heritage, Mi Escuelita's primary focus is to provide a safe, secure, and nurturing environment where non-English speaking preschool-aged children receive a strong educational foundation, ensuring success in both school and life.

For over 46 years, Mi Escuelita has provided an exceptional preschool education experience to thousands of low-income families and children in the Dallas community. Using English language immersion and a research-based curriculum, Mi Escuelita meets the needs of children ages 18 months to 5 years old whose native language is not English and engages them in daily math, science, reading, music, and art activities. Our specialized approach prepares them for long-term academic success and helps them master the English language, while preserving and respecting their culture at home.

I am looking for a way that my son can help kids in reading. He's going into the 7th grade and has really good reading skills. I want him to learn the importance of using his skills and gifts to help others.

This is a great opportunity for any volunteer, whether you are looking for a long-term commitment or are volunteering every once in a while. No matter what your level of experience, it's a great place to go. Mi Escuelita is a school deserving of volunteers.
