Our Director of Dual Language Learner Programs, Carolyne Crolotte, speaks with KQED Reporter Daisy Nguyen about the opportunity that TK expansion presents in supporting Dual Language Learners across California.
“Sometimes, we hear, ‘Oh, if they want to learn English, we need to get them in English classrooms,’ but actually, the opposite is true,” said Carolyne Crolotte, who promotes dual language learner programs for Early Edge California. “If children have a very strong foundation in their home language, they actually learn English more easily.”
