Parent reviews
Words from our families.
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.
