Rep. Adams Visits Charlotte Bilingual Preschool
Students can learn in bilingual environment at no cost to parents
CHARLOTTE – Today, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. (NC-12) visited Charlotte Bilingual Preschool, which provides dual-language early education to Charlotte-area children at no cost to families.
“I have enjoyed myself immensely this morning," said Rep. Adams. “I can’t think of a better environment where children have people who care and work with their families.”
As quality childcare has become harder to find and increasingly expensive in North Carolina, Charlotte Bilingual Preschool helps to ensure that Spanish-speaking families in the Charlotte area have an accessible resource that builds critical language skills and Kindergarten-readiness. Charlotte Bilingual Preschool’s 5-star licensed program has been serving Mecklenburg County Spanish-speaking families since 1999. In addition to preschool, they offer family programs and workforce development programs to focus on removing systemic barriers for those who are learning English.
