La Casita’s Community Programs focus on visual and performance arts, bilingual literacy, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Programs also use creative expression and mindfulness as a way to work through issues of mental and emotional distress, wellness and self-care among other areas of our children’s and families’ daily lives.
