La Casa De Esperanza

Founded in 1966 as History Builders, La Casa de Esperanza initially focused on the growing Hispanic community in Waukesha by providing educational services to help English language learners prepare and succeed in school. The organization's early emphasis on English as Second Language classes for adults was soon joined by La Escuelita, a bi-lingual pre-school created to prepare young Latino students to attend Waukesha Public Schools. These two programs formed the foundation upon which the tradition of education at the center of every program and service offered by La Casa was built.
