Why do you think a bilingual education is important for young children?

Developing a bilingual education at a young age has given me numerous advantages; I am able to clearly communicate with people from different cultures, I can aid conversation and bridge connections through translation, and I have the skills to teach the upcoming generation the same expertise. A bilingual education gives children a leg up in linguistic, cognitive, and social intelligence. This knowledge can encourage your child to appreciate different cultures and to be a natural communicator; and it is a practical tool that they will value for the rest of their lives.    

 

Treasured moments:

What genuinely makes my days are the moments when students peek through my office door to wish me good morning or to give me a quick hug. I feel successful in continuing these mentor-mentee relationships while serving as Site Director.
