To ensure that young
children have an early start at learning a second language.
We achieve this mission
through the following goals:
Expose children to languages and cultures while they are young and
developing skills.
Encourage parents to learn languages with their children by practicing the
target language whenever possible and by attending cultural events.
Expose the community
to languages and culture through the annual Multicultural Literary Expo
for Children and FREE story times at libraries, bookstores, and other venues.
