La Escuelita Bilingual School began in 1979 and was created to meet the needs of a diverse community that values quality instruction, cultural relevancy, and the addition of a second language. Our curriculum has evolved over the decades and is often used as a model for other institutions. We provide children with a dual language education of English and Spanish. Additionally, our educational environment supports the development of each child with their home culture and language in mind.

Our goal is to promote the progress, competence, respect, and appreciation of our students. We recognize that parents are the first and primary educators of young children, and our staff understands that culturally-specific child-rearing practices are of critical importance in the development of each child. Because of this, our educators work to establish strong partnerships with parents and are committed to a continuous dialogue that supports the development of their children. 

We have established ourselves over the past 30 years as advocates for bilingual, bicultural teachers. Our educators are encouraged to become agents of social change. Our quality of instruction and child care is rooted in the years of experience that our directors and educators have. With an innovative curriculum implementation, the high scores achieved when assessing students, educators, and management, and the low turnover rate in teachers and support staff make us a leading bilingual school in Seattle.
