Inspiración

Inspiración is an affiliate organization of Transformation Waco.

This local early childhood nonprofit operates at Kendrick Elementary. The Spanish-dominant program prepares at-risk Latino children from infancy to age four for kindergarten readiness while simultaneously providing classes for the children’s parents.

Parents learn how to support education and social and emotional health at home, connect with community partners and resources, and build the skills to advocate for their children as they enter the school system. In addition to receiving on-site programming, Inspiración parents also have the opportunity to receive home visits from Parent as Teachers-certified parent educators. Parent educators provide one-on-one support and expertise in the home by monitoring the child’s development alongside the parent, ensuring that children reach developmental milestones.

Since its inception in the 2018-2019 school year, Inspiración has shown continuous growth in participation. In June 2022, Inspiración graduated its largest class to date: nineteen children and their moms. This growth is a testament to the work of the dedicated staff: Eloisa Cruz Arredondo, Program Coordinator; and Pauluisa Ramos, Program Specialist.
