How Vanessa Helps Shape Our Bilingual Learning Series
With Vanessa’s mentorship, we have tailored our materials so they:

• Support early language acquisition through age-appropriate, interactive, and sensory-rich activities.
• Reflect classroom realities — making sure that Pre-K teachers can realistically use our storybooks and resources in a busy bilingual classroom.
• Encourage family involvement — providing guidance and suggestions to parents so they can support bilingual learning at home from the very start.

Thanks to Vanessa’s professional experience, our series is more grounded in what young bilingual learners and their teachers truly need. Her input ensures our tools are not only fun, but also aligned with developmentally sound practices for early learners.
