In an effort to encourage bilingual learners, the City of East Lansing has added a Spanish immersion course to its Bailey Community Center.
The course is for 3 to 4-year old preschool students who will spend half of their day immersed in English and half of the day immersed in Spanish. The program made its debut in September.
“The City of East Lansing is committed to offering a wide range of programs for the changing needs of our community,” says Julie Anne Jennings with the Bailey Community Center, which also offers a Chinese immersion class for preschoolers.
“The increasing demand in our community for early language acquisition has led to the creation of the innovative and interactive Spanish Immersion Preschool program. Building on the enormous success of our Chinese Immersion Preschool program, we are excited to introduce this new program to community members.”
