Dual-language, play-based preschool
Lenguaje Dual con un curriculum basado en juegos


About Us
La Escuelita Weekday School is a half-day, play-based preschool serving children ages 1 to 5. Our dedicated and nurturing teachers implement the Creative Curriculum through a dual-language approach in English and Spanish.
Each classroom is led by a teaching team that includes one native English speaker and one native Spanish speaker, creating a rich bilingual learning environment.
Our Commitment to Quality
We follow the guidelines set by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) for teacher-to-student ratios — and often exceed these standards by maintaining smaller class sizes, ensuring more personalized attention for every child.
Partnering with Families
At La Escuelita, we believe that parents are a child’s first and most important teachers. We support families by offering:
• Parenting resources and educational tools
• Volunteer opportunities in the classroom
• Community-building events that encourage peer connection
Together, we create a nurturing and inclusive environment where children and families grow and thrive.

Our Vision
To prepare children to thrive in a diverse community and varied education systems, develop necessary social skills, and nurture life skills so they are successful in school and beyond.


Our Mission
By providing a dual language, play-based, classroom experience, we endeavor to instill an abiding sense of respect for all children, their unique cultures and their individual development. By providing this nurturing, age-appropriate environment, we will help lay the foundations for academic and social success that our children will continue to build upon in kindergarten and throughout school. By offering parent support and parental education opportunities, we hope to get the family in touch with the resources they need to recognize, plan for, and then accomplish their long-term goals.
