“I am so excited to be a part of this program because I believe that it is what is best for kids and it will give our children a head start in life with developing their minds to think bilaterally. This program is going to foster a strong community among our students, parents, and faculty. We are on an amazing journey together that will benefit all of us as we work together to build dual language competence with our students.”
