Mi Casita teachers administer the Early Screening Inventory Revised (ESI-R) pre-assessment test six weeks after school starts, then rescreen in January. The purpose of the test in conjunction with teacher observations and parent feedback is to identify children who may need special educational services in order to perform successfully in school. It is not a diagnostic test; it can only be used to identify the possibility of a learning condition that may affect a child's potential for success in school. The ESI-R does not assess achievement level, rather surveys a child's ability to aqcuire skills. Teachers develop lesson plans accordingly and make referrals so the children can receive special education as needed. - Preschool:

Programmatically, the concepts of outreach, family support and community-based services are common denominator among most agency programs. At Mi Casita, a child’s initial school experience is designed to meet their emotional, social, and intellectual needs based on the premise that all children come to school with knowledge, curiosity, readiness to learn and explore their environment. We strongly believe that individual and cultural differences are to be respected, valued and nurtured while recognizing that we all share common links to humanity.
