What is a bilingual preschool?
A bilingual preschool is a preschool that integrates a second language component into its curriculum and daily routines. Some programs weave the second language in throughout the day while others switch from one language to the other depending on the day of the week.
Bilingual Program
Bilingual preschool programs introduce young children to a second language through daily routines, play, and instruction delivered in both languages. Depending on the program, this can include full immersion—where the day is conducted entirely in the second language—or partial immersion, with activities and instruction split between two languages. Teachers use age-appropriate strategies like songs, storytelling, and conversation to help children understand and use both languages naturally. These programs are designed to build language skills early while supporting cognitive development, cultural awareness, and school readiness in a language-rich environment.
