Our Escuelita
We provide a safe, loving environment in Noe Valley where every child is valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Spanish Immersion
At Escuelita Colibrí, children learn Spanish naturally through play, conversation, music, stories, and daily activities. Our full immersion program helps children develop language skills while building confidence, cultural awareness, and a love of learning.
Founded by Rosa Lara, a native of El Salvador with over 30 years of experience in early childhood education, Escuelita Colibrí creates a warm and welcoming environment where every child can thrive.
Our Learning Environment
Escuelita Colibrí provides a bright, welcoming space designed to inspire exploration and creativity. Children enjoy access to a variety of engaging learning areas, including art and creative expression spaces, a children's library, indoor play structures, opportunities for active play and discovery.
With small class sizes and low child-to-teacher ratios, we are able to build strong relationships with each child, provide individualized support, and create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
