By the time kindergarten rolls around, all our preschool slots are filled -- no one leaves and there's no room. <br /><br />In reality there should be more programs like this. There is a dual language strand at Talcott and heritage language programs at Tepochcalli and Whittier that I know of. <br /><br />Good luck!Jill Wohl https://www.blogger.com/profile/16235472634232562678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12342221.post-12267265839203017002009-04-06T14:50:00.000-07:002009-04-06T14:50:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing your experience.

I'll probably devote a whole post to this topic some time, but I'm already thinking about how to balance time here with making sure my child is exposed to lots of other parts of the world, too. And it is pretty likely I'll end up looking for schools other than the nearest one when he gets old enough to start thinking about that, even though I like the principal and many teachers and parents at our local grammar school. It's really big and impersonal, and I'd like my child to have the benefit of a fully dual-language program, which they don't have.Maritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729429896105375815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12342221.post-3907002363478092412009-04-06T14:44:00.000-07:002009-04-06T14:44:00.000-07:00Congrats!

I did learn a lot growing up there, but I would not want my kid to grow up there, while I know he/she would gain a greater perspective on life by doing so, I would want a "better" place for him to growp up in. but thats my situation because I feel I worked very hard to overcome growing up in BOY that I want my kid to start further along...thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12342221.post-67035470656810182982009-03-29T19:12:00.000-07:002009-03-29T19:12:00.000-07:00Congratulations!
