OUR GOALS

 

As educators at La Playa Center, we recognize and value the individualities and cultures of our students. We hold diversity in high regard, and we see the need of individuals to integrate into their new society. We value education and English language acquisition as means towards this integration while we see the importance of individual and cultural exchanges that demonstrate the diversity of our community.

We will continue our ESL classes with childcare while working with other organizations to ensure that residents get the help they need in all aspects of their lives.
