Podcast #2

Show Notes:

It's becoming more common in the United States to introduce children to a second language at an early age. In this Podcast I share the top 10 ways  children benefit from learning a second language. Some of the benefits are short term, and others are long term. 

If you're a Childcare Owner or Director and you offer a second language at your center, or you are thinking about adding a second language, you'll want to download the Top Ten List below. Share the list with parents and stakeholders to reinforce the importance and benefits of children learning a second language at your center, and use the handout as a marketing tool to attract more families to your center.Enjoy the Podcast episode!
