Why your Family Should Choose Bilingual Child Care & Education Center Over Other Immersion Experiences
With the explosion in popularity of immersion education, the options for families have increased and many more children are enjoying the amazing opportunity of learning a second language naturally through early learning immersion. Today, I would like to share a bit about what sets our two small Spanish immersion centers in Roseville and Mahtomedi, above and beyond.
Foremost, our Commitment to Excellence can be found in all we do! This means we never stop trying to improve. We walk our path with the authentic intention to listen, assess, and respond toward continual quality development. Our bilingual child care team is an extremely dedicated group of professionals who deeply care about this work, and understand how impactful it is on childrens’ lives and for our collective future.
We believe our staff and teachers are the foundation of ensuring that every day, your child engages in joyful play and learning experiences and builds trusting and caring bonds. We are committed to hiring, training, and supporting their professional development, providing a competitive compensation package, and nurturing teamwork and a family environment where they feel supported and valued.
We believe in building community for parents of young children, and creating a space where families and educators come together to share their love for children, language, learning, and culture! We offer many opportunities to gather and participate in your child’s learning and develop friendships with other parents. Through educational and informational events, outings, get-togethers, and celebrations, our families develop lasting bonds and a system of support. Every fall, our families attend our popular event “Raising a Bilingual Child” where we talk about our goals of a Spanish immersion experience, specific research-based strategies to support language development, community events, and future pathways for continued learning and immersion. We organize two cultural events during the school year, offer conferences twice a year, celebrate year-end and graduation, and have a beach day in the summer. We also encourage volunteers to share their own celebrations, skills, or stories.
We strive to offer facilities and materials that are second to none. Our clean, safe, and engaging classrooms and natural playground are designed to inspire play and exploration. Our classrooms are bright and joyful with materials that engage small hands and minds. Our playgrounds include natural elements, sand, water, trees, grass, plants and rocks for natural exploration and play every day. There is not much that compares to seeing the look on a young child’s face as they are discovering the world and learning. It is our goal to inspire those moments daily and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be able to cultivate early learning experiences that inspire awe and delight in young learners.
Soon to begin our 15th year this fall, we have just two centers, each with 7 classrooms. We completed our facilities development in 2023, with no further expansion plans. We are laser focused on providing the best Spanish immersion program for children, facilities, learning, and work environments. Unlike big chains and ever- expanding franchises and companies, we are a small community – and we love it that way! We are focused on providing full time immersion experiences for families who want to give their children the chance to grow up bilingual and fully fluent in Spanish. The immersion and kindergarten teachers where our students go on to attend often comment to parents their amazement at our kids’ fluency and kinder readiness. Many read in 2 languages starting in kindergarten! We invite you to invest in your child’s future with Bilingual Child Care and Education Center! Contact us today to begin a learning journey that will change your child’s life!
