DALLAS, Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 100 at-risk young children will receive high quality early childhood education in the heart of Dallas thanks to Mi Escuelita Preschool opening a new location in Downtown Dallas where they will provide Pre-K for Uplift Education's Uplift Peak Preparatory. The new site will be Mi Escuelita East Quarter and will be hosted at First Presbyterian Church of Dallas (1835 Young Street, Dallas, 75201).
