ESCUELITA MAYA
The Escuelita Maya was founded to provide afterschool educational support to the children of migrant workers. It has expanded to two locations, serving over 120 children in its preschool, aftercare, and summer camp programs.
VPK &
PRESCHOOL
Founded in 2011, our Escuelita Maya VPK and preschool programs help provide the Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program to children in underserved communities. Most of our children speak Spanish or a Mayan language at home, and we teach them English while fostering pride in their home language and culture. Our culturally competent early childhood education prepares them for future academic success.
ELEMENTARY &
MIDDLE SCHOOL
AFTER CARE
Since 1998, we’ve provided affordable after-school and summer care that supports students' physical, social, and emotional development. Through field trips, cultural activities, and academic lessons, we teach our children how to curiously engage with the world and others. Originally offered exclusively to children in Elementary School, our program has expanded in 2025 to support Middle School students as well.
SUMMER CAMP
Each summer, children participate in activities like free swimming lessons, field trips, and a camp led by SALTT students from Immaculata-La Salle High School. During camp, the children take part in classes such as cooking, musical theatre, sports, dance, and arts & crafts. Here, they build lifelong friendships with their counselors and one another.
In the Summer of 2025, we are beginning our first ever camp run by our SALTT Youth Group, made up of high school counselors from the local Lake Worth Beach community!
VOLUNTEER
Our aftercare program also offers the unique opportunity for our children to get personalized and individual one-on-one tutoring. This award winning program is made entirely possible through the work of our wonderful volunteers. If you are an adult and would like to be a tutor, please feel free to email our Tutoring Director, Mr. Barry at bglaz@guatemalanmaya.org for more information.
If you are a high school student in Lake Worth Beach and would like to join our SALTT Youth Group and volunteer as a camp counselor, email Mayra at mcardenas@guatemalanmaya.org for more information.
