OUR SERVICES & ACTIVITIES
Early Childhood Family Program, Spanish GED Classes and Pre-G.E.D.
Among the many needs being addressed, education is one of growing importance within the Hispanic community. Not only the continued encouragement of Hispanic youth to go on to higher education, but also the opportunities for adults to complete basic studies has been, and continues to be, an important focus. We provide adult programming in Spanish GED and pre-GED.
1. La Escuelita de Casa ALBA Melanie
To promote early childhood education programs among Hispanic families.
To promote early childhood education programs among Hispanic families.
Bilingual classes for 3 and 4 year olds and their parents or caregivers are also offered in Casa Alba's "La Escuelita." This year we returned to having classes in person, with COVID-19 precautions in place. This Program provides our Hispanic youth with the best possible start to their academic career while acclimating parents to the school system.

2. Spanish G.E.D
To provide quality classes and study assistance for adult students in GED. The Spanish GED courses taught at Casa ALBA by volunteer teachers, and in cooperation with NWTC, have been a great success. Since the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 our classes transferred from in person to online. We remained online due to the preference of our students. We are fortunate to have six G.E.D volunteer teachers that work long hours and offer tender care to our Hispanic Community, to afford students a better education and greater change of future success.

3. Pre-G.E.D.
To offer basic reading comprehension and writing skills to adult students who have minimal skills in their first language enabling them to eventually learn English. The Pre-GED (Spanish literacy classes) works with adults who had little or no opportunity to learn to read or write in their own language. As they achieve literacy in their native language they are more confident and competent to learn English. Adults who are better educated, and who learn English, can also contribute even more positively to Northeast Wisconsin.
