I actually cried when my daughter Ella graduated from Mi Escuelita. The school had become for us not only a place where she became fluent in Spanish in a natural, living way, not only an excellent preschool where she was prepared so well for kindergarten, not only a warm and lively space where she celebrated other cultures and traditions. Mi Escuelita had become an extension of our family, and we had come to treasure the dedicated teachers and staff as dear friends. We will always carry Mi Escuelita in a special place in our hearts.
