ARVADA, Colo. — Londis Ramirez grew up speaking both English and Spanish and knows the value of being bilingual. When she became the education supervisor of the Head Start program in Arvada, she saw a growing need in the community for bilingual education .
In August, Ramirez will welcome students to Jefferson County Head Start’s first dual-language program for 3 and 4-year-olds. Families who qualify for Head Start can enroll in the program. Classes will be conducted half in Spanish, half in English. “We pretty much set up the environment to be both English and Spanish. We labeled the toys in both, pictures for the kids, and we’ll have a multicultural board in our class with their families, their traditions, their cultures,” Estrella said.
