Esperanza Ministries

Early Childhood Education Program - Serves low income Hispanic children from Bachman Lake Community with early education classes. This program focuses on language acquisition, pre-math skills, gross and fine motor development, social skills development, and executive function. Parent workshops focus on child development, parent talk (3Ts from thirty million words initiative), play with me, every child ready to read, emotional development, disciplining your child, sleep patterns, and children's health. Each workshop includes practical hands-on applications so that parents and children learn skills together and are equipped to practice these skills at home. Program has a student-to-teacher ratio which allows for individualized attention to each student. Each student's progress is evaluated at the beginning and end of each school year.

Adult Education Program - Provides classes in English, computer literacy, and financial literacy for low income Hispanic adults from the Bachman Lake Community. Over 70% of students who complete the year advance to the next level, which means they have made significant progress in reading, speaking, and writing in English. Students in our classes also receive regular workshops on life skills and such as cultural assimilation, language learning, financial literacy, health, nutrition, depression, grief, family dynamics, school choice, internet safety, and child development. The Bible and prayer are incorporated into all aspects of the program and students are invited, but not forced, to participate in faith-based activities.
