On November 12, 2014, Universidad Popular embarked on a new adventure  called the  Learning TO Succeed Family Program, which now takes place Tuesdays through Thursdays at 9AM. Universidad Popular has always been a place for youth, adults and the elderly. Now it has become the second home to ten children between the ages of two and five.

The first day was used for the kids, alongside their parents, to explore the classroom and everything that it had to offer. Through donations, hard work and a dedicated staff, what was once an art room is now a place for children to develop and reinforce the values first taught at home while building social skills.

This program allows parents to come to the morning English classes while their kids enjoy interacting with children their own age. Through various activities including  arts, crafts, and trips to the library, parents will have the opportunity to bond with their children. Universidad Popular has big plans for the future of this program and the participants involved. We currently have limited space for children but we are planning to expand the program as soon as more funding becomes available.
