Our Programs

Para Los Niños builds a healthy community, with a focus on Latino immigrants. It supports holistic, family-based educational opportunities and builds lasting community networks.

Aprendamos Juntos / Let's Learn Together

Aprendamos Juntos (Let's Learn Together) integrates child and parent learning to boost academic success, build children's emotional development, and support parenting. OSPI standards are incorporated into the school readiness component. The program involves two sessions, which meet weekly during the school year. It is offered in three elementary schools (in White Center and Sea-Tac), and is run in partnership with the Highline School District and Highline Community College. The program divides participants into four groups: very early years, pre-kindergarten, school-age, and parents (focusing on ESL and skills for navigating the school system).

Descubriendo Nuestra Cultura / Discovering Our Culture

Descubriendo Nuestra Cultura / Discovering Our Culture is a summer institute for low-income children (pre-kindergarten to sixth grade) from Latin American immigrant families.

The institute is led by bi-lingual Spanish teachers who educate children on the Spanish language and Latin American history and culture. The teachers are from within the Highline School District. The institute meets every Monday through Thursday in July. This program is fun for the children, and involves a high level of parent participation.
