Escolinha Iris

Written by Ana Vaney

We are filled with joy as we open the doors for the second year of Escolinha Iris! What a blessing it is to welcome 97 little ones into our classrooms — 55 girls and 42 boys — each one full of potential and a beautiful future ahead.
This year, our children will have the opportunity to learn new things, explore the world around them, and develop important skills that will prepare them for 1st grade. Even more importantly, they will be encouraged to build character, discover God’s love, and grow spiritually as they learn about Jesus and His example.
Escolinha Iris is more than just a preschool — it's a place where children are nurtured in heart, mind, and spirit, where they are seen, valued, and loved. We are deeply grateful for the chance to walk alongside these precious kids and their families as they take their first steps in education and in their journey with God.
We also want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who gives through the Stop for the One program — your generosity is making a real difference in the lives of these children. Because of you, they have a place to grow, learn, and be loved. Thank you for sowing into their future!
