Celebrations Preschool, Inc. was founded in
1975 by two special education teachers who recognized the need for
a quality preschool, pre-kindergarten, and kindergarten program in the
Hispanic community. These two bright and compassionate teachers
realized that some of the Spanish-speaking children in their school
were not intellectually deficient as some educators presumed. They
simply did not know the English language well enough to progress
in-step with the other children in their classes. As a result,
Celebrations was formed.
Celebrations is the only private, full-time
bilingual preschool, pre-kindergarten, and certified kindergarten
program in Oklahoma City that provides quality academic
opportunities for Non-English-speaking children to learn English and
school readiness skills. Dramatic advances in language, social and
pre-academic skills are realized by our students.
Fulfilling our mission, “Celebrations teaches English to Non-English-speaking
preschool and kindergarten children while enriching their families and communities”,
and meeting our goal of preparing students to enter first grade on
the same level as their English-speaking peers is at the heart of
everything we do, every day. We are proud to report that we have
been successful in reaching this goal for the past 32years, and plan
to do so for many years to come. |
