Arlington · Jacksonville, Florida
A warm, bilingual preschool guiding children from infancy through VPK with home-cooked meals, small classes, and steady, loving care.
About La Escuelita
For families across Arlington, La Escuelita has become a second home — a quiet, family-led preschool where children are met with patience, warmth, and the kind of attention only a small school can provide.
Our days are gentle and intentional. We blend Spanish and English naturally throughout the morning, share home-cooked breakfast and lunch together, and follow a calm rhythm that helps each child feel settled, confident, and ready to grow.
Programs
From first steps to VPK, our programs follow your child's pace — rich in language, play, and quiet, attentive moments.
From 8 months
Soft, predictable rhythms with one-on-one care, gentle bilingual narration, and plenty of cuddles.
Ages 1–2
Guided play, early language, music, and the kindness skills that make the toddler years easier for everyone.
Ages 2–4
Letters, numbers, art, and storytelling in two languages — woven into a calm, predictable day with lots of outdoor time.
Ages 4–5
A gentle, confidence-building bridge to kindergarten following Florida's VPK standards in a small group setting.
Why parents choose us
Spanish and English flow naturally through stories, songs, and conversation — building confidence in both languages.
Breakfast and lunch are prepared daily on-site — comforting, familiar food the children look forward to each morning.
Low ratios and a steady team mean children are truly seen, heard, and gently guided through each milestone.
Our pre-kindergarten follows Florida's VPK framework, easing the transition to elementary school with confidence.
Parent reviews
My twins went here from eight months until three years of age, and they learned so much. Breakfast and lunch are cooked daily, the teachers are friendly, and the owner has a heart of gold. We highly recommend La Escuelita.
My son attended from age two and a half. They taught him to use the toilet, and gave him so much affection and reassurance. I am very grateful to the team here.
