The La Escuela Fratney staff includes early childhood educators who provide creative, intensive support so children can embrace bilingual learning starting in K3. Gaining knowledge, building literacy and math skills, and establishing friendships in two languages is a unique challenge. Our kindergarten programs provide structure and support so every child thrives in two languages. Teachers provide instruction during whole-classroom and small group activities, and children also learn through play, during recess, and at mealtimes.
