Our Story

Mundo de Ninos Academy strives to encourage their partners, customers, suppliers and neighbors “to make a positive change, to be innovators, leaders, and contributors to an inclusive society and consistently reach and assist underprivileged children in the community.
In 2011 what began as a Preschool Teacher has blossomed into Mundo de Ninos Academy founded in 2021 with one goal in mind- to provide quality, affordable, care for all children- regardless of age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status or location. Cecilia Urrea (CEO) combined two of her passions and experiences. After working in clinical spaces as a Speech and Language Pathologist Assistant SLPA, she realized that children thrive and endure in healthy environments.

Mundo de Ninos Academy is a 501(c) (3) educational and early intervention organization with a focus on the development lifespan in children.

The primary milestones involved are the identification of issues in the household, alternative solutions to resolve the issues and methods to strengthen weaknesses. The identification process is designed holistically through analysis of specific organizations like Early Start, First 5 Riverside, Inland Regional Center, Resource & Referral Network and Riverside University Health Care System. The organization believes potential issues can be identified and developed further strategies for optimal learning and developing. Mundo de Ninos Academy has been a leader in child development for 10 years with a wide vision to encourage their partners, consumers, and neighbors to make the world a better place by inspiring and nurturing the human spirit. Mundo de Ninos Academy will certainly strive to reach the higher level of cognitive reasoning in a least restrictive environment.
