The only tool you'll need to raise bilingual children

We truly believe this is all you need to raise bilingual children!
As a new school year approaches, you may be wondering how to support your child's bilingualism. With so many in person and virtual options, it's easy to get overwhelmed. But you don't have to because I'm going to tell you THE SECRET.
YOU are the best language teacher for your child!
After observing and interacting closely with hundreds of bilingual families in the last decade, I have discovered that the biggest predictor of students' language success is the parents interest in using the target language at home. When I realized this, I knew my job had to extend beyond the classroom. And that if I truly wanted to create a community of bilingual families, it was my job to give parents all the tools necessary to use Spanish at home.
I've been working on different versions of this program in the past 5 years, but have gotten the best data in the last 3.5 as my husband and I work hard to create our own "bilingual family' for our two boys.
I'm very proud of this program and I know it will help you raise bilingual children!
