About Us
I'M BILINGUAL!®
LANGUAGES THROUGH MUSIC
Our supplemental early
learning curriculum is based
on culturally authentic Spanish texts and music.
The I'm Bilingual!® Supplemental Spanish Music Curriculum offers teachers research-based strategies and field-tested materials that help students develop essential foundational skills to achieve positive academic and social outcomes, providing a lifelong impact for children and opening a window to the world.
Empowering teachers to succeed
Today, teachers are stuck with the responsibility of getting results without having the means to achieve those results. They are expected to find tools, learn and develop strategies to face a changing landscape in schools in the United States.
Multilingualism is on the rise in the United States, with 20% of Americans proficient in two or more languages. As the student demographic continues to evolve, Spanish has become the second most spoken language today. Educators require immediate access to tools and up-to-date knowledge to effectively meet the diverse linguistic needs of their students.
In the face of teacher shortages and a rising bilingual population, school districts require a program that is flexible, adaptable and user-friendly for their classrooms.
Our commitment to excellence has resulted in award-winning materials and engaging workshops, to support both new and experienced educators.
The I'm Bilingual! Supplemental Spanish Music Curriculum is rooted in authentic texts and music from Spanish-speaking regions and cultures.
It boasts a coherent and cohesive design, validated through over 15 years of field testing at our I'm Bilingual! Languages Through Music early childhood classes in New York City.
