Are you raising a multilingual baby or child? Learn how to support them as they enter a monolingual environment.

This guide will take you through:
Questions to reflect on as you begin this transition.
What you can do to prepare your child for entering a monolingual
English environment.
How to set and maintain your family’s language learning goals.
How to engage your child’s caregivers in supporting these goals.
