Founded in 2013, La Escuelita Bilingual Preschool is a “little
school” with a big impact. When Spanish-speaking children enter the
school system, they often start behind and, unfortunately, stay
behind. La Escuelita helps close the achievement gap for
Spanish-speaking children in the Lake Norman area through bilingual
teachings in a sensory rich environment.
At La Escuelita, children are given the opportunity to start
their education with confidence by being immersed in a bilingual,
hands-on science preschool. Language is not “taught” at La
Escuelita. Instead, both Spanish and English are used in authentic
context through the child’s everyday conversation and through play,
art and literacy so students can learn by doing.
The donation from Ingersoll Rand will help provide scholarships
for students whose families cannot afford quality preschool, pay
teachers and support the success of the school and the
community.
“We are extremely excited and grateful to Ingersoll Rand for
this partnership,” said Pat Shaw, director, La Escuelita
Bilingual Preschool. “This donation is literally life-changing, and
we look forward to a meaningful, long-lasting relationship with
Ingersoll Rand.”
Ingersoll Rand celebrates diverse points of view and backgrounds
and is committed to equity in how people are treated and the
opportunities available, making this partnership a perfect fit.
Ingersoll Rand is driven to make life better for its customers and
is excited to extend this mission to the community.
“As a non-native English speaker myself, this partnership with
La Escuelita Bilingual Preschool is particularly meaningful to me.
We are happy to have the opportunity to help make life better for
children entering the education system,” said Vicente
Reynal, chairman and CEO, Ingersoll Rand. “This partnership
will allow bilingual students to be better equipped to succeed, and
we are proud to help set up the children in our community for
success.”
Next year, La Escuelita will celebrate its 10-year anniversary
with its annual Fiesta Fundraiser. At the event, attendees can
enjoy delicious food, such as tacos and fried chicken enchiladas,
and the proceeds go directly back to the school and its
scholarships. Learn more about La Escuelita Bilingual Preschool on
