On June 21, 2022 El Primer Paso graduated its 52nd preschool class.  The celebration was particularly special since we were unable to have a real ceremony during the pandemic.  Our children, with the help of their teachers and Board member Luis Martinez (who accompanied the children on his guitar), learned three songs and put on a very special performance.  One of the songs, "The World is a Rainbow"  is depicted in the video above.

What Parents Think

My husband and I both went to El Primer Paso when we were little. I remember loving it back then and 30+ years later my little one is loving it too! I can't recommend this (full day!) preschool enough. My son is learning and playing and socializing with kids his age, in a safe, fun environment. It's home away from home. Mrs Ramirez is wonderful and so good with the kids (as is all the staff). I also love that the app allows for quick communication and updates. At El Primer Paso I feel confident that my child is in great hands. Highly recommend!
