Well I've decided to enroll my son in a bilingual preschool, he will start this coming August. I am excited. This is not a dual language preschool, the reason it's called a bilingual preschool is because 99% if not all of the students don't speak english, this school is to help prepare them for elementrary. The teachers will have to communicate almost all the time in spanish and will incorporate english in as well. All of the teachers and staff are native spanish speakers from various Latin American countries. They have bilingual story time once a week and cultural events. The parents have to volunteer atleast once a month. My son is bilingual(spanish/english). I feel being their will greatly benefit him. He will see and hear his teachers speaking spanish. All of his classmates speak spanish and he will have to communicate in spanish especially when playing with the other kids. So I am sooo excited and I look forward to going this week to enroll him. I still plan to home school him and his brother but I want to try this language immersion for at least a year maybe two. I'll keep you all posted on everything. Also I had my son evaluated in spanish and english by a speech pathologist and they found NO delays in either language *smile*
