Empowering Latino Families, One Student at a Time

Our Early Education Programs empower over 550 children annually, inspiring a culture of higher education and opening pathways to post-secondary success for Latino families. By fostering a supportive, bilingual environment, we help children and families see education as an accesible and rewarding journey.

With a curriculum rooted in Finnish educational principles, we focus on collaboration, ethics, and independent learning. Guided by Georgia-certified teachers, students engage in a dynamic, student-led approach, incorporating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) through Play and Project-Based Learning.

Our programs align with Georgia’s Early Childhood Standards (GELDS) and Elementary Standards (GSE), ensuring students receive a high-quality foundation for lifelong learning. In addition, Emory University’s SEE Learning Curriculum is woven into our programs, supporting students’ social, emotional, and ethical growth. Together, these elements nurture children’s curiosity and equip them with the skills to thrive in school and beyond.

During our summer program, preschool to 3rd-grade students engage in a cross-curricular approach to learning. Students can apply skills learned via school instruction or everyday life to develop a class project; they also engage in Play-Based Learning which allows students to actively learn while cultivating “innovative minds capable of discovery.”

Participating in the summer program helps combat summer learning loss. It prepares students to engage meaningfully in learning, whether in school or at home.

Locations: Sandy Springs, Roswell, Hapeville, Lilburn, Chamblee, Marietta and Forest Park.

Our half-day Saturday School Program is designed to meaningfully engage students in fun activities that foster curiosity and a love for learning. The STEAM approach supports the students’ development by providing access to science, math, art, and other methods to guide student inquiry. Instruction is guided by Georgia Standards for Early Learning and Development (GELDS) and Georgia Standard of Excellence (GSE).

Art, music, and yoga are essential elements of our dynamic, whole-child curriculum.

The Early Literacy Program helps improve family literacy by inviting parents into the classroom and encouraging them to invest early in a productive academic relationship with their children.

This bi-lingual, intergenerational program helps bridge the gap between low-income Latino students and students with access to rich learning experiences. We do this by encouraging parents to engage meaningfully in settings designed to promote learning. Guided by a teacher, parents learn how to provide these meaningful experiences at home.

Aprendemos Juntos is a transformative program designed to foster collaboration between parents, children, and educators, strengthening the connection between home and school while promoting success in the classroom and beyond. This program equips families with the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to actively support their child’s education and growth.

Led by a certified educator, Aprendemos Juntos builds a bridge between school and home. Parents gain insights into their school district’s curriculum and learn practical ways to reinforce classroom instruction through meaningful engagement and collaboration.

Inclusivity is at the heart of our mission. All sessions are conducted in Spanish, creating a welcoming environment for parents to fully participate and embrace their role as their child’s first and most influential teacher. Together, we break down language barriers, opening doors to academic success and stronger family bonds.

Location: Hapeville Elementary School (Hapeville) and Fountain Elementary School (Forest Park)
