Our History
Mi Escuelita was co-founded in 1978 by Carolyn Strickland and Helen Peña as an outreach program of El Divino Salvador Presbyterian Church.
For over 30 years, Mi Escuelita Preschool, Inc. has proudly operated under the principle that all children deserve and require access to a quality education in addition to preventative health, dental, vision, nutritional, speech, and behavioral care.
Mi Escuelita has continuously worked with disadvantaged children of all languages and cultures, exposing them to English language, pre-reading, literacy, math, science, and social skills at an early age. With a low teacher-pupil ratio of 1:9, Mi Escuelita teachers are able to work closely with every child.
Teachers, staff, and family advocates have also endlessly worked closely with parents to positively reinforce skills learned in class and incorporate their native languages and cultures into every child's education.
