Chairwoman Pam Wettstein, Secretary/Treasurer Penny Walters, and members Betty Carter, Jaime Grimaldo, Ramon Palomo, and Judy Snyder are the heart of our mission to inspire a bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural future.
From those whoโve been with us since our start in 2003 to parents and dedicated community members, they share one goal: providing free, high-quality education that opens doors for every student. Their leadership fuels possibility, and we couldnโt be more grateful!

#5 Multilingual Learning: A Journey of Patience
Being bilingual is a superpower! Please:
Remember, raising a bilingual child is a marathon, not a sprint! ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
It takes 5-7 years to build a truly bilingual brain.
Your child is learning in both English and Spanish - an incredible feat!
Be patient: fluency doesn't happen overnight.
Tips to support your child's journey:
Read in both languages daily ๐
Encourage conversations in the language they're less comfortable with ๐ฃ๏ธ
Celebrate small victories in language learning ๐
Your dedication at home makes a huge difference. Keep up the great work, and watch your child's bilingual abilities flourish over time! ๐
