Tagged: children, Long Island, parents, teacher“The reason this program is successful is because there is a big need in the community,” Ms. Martinez said of Juntos al Kinder.
“The museum room is designed to resemble a kindergarten, complete with a teacher and structured activities, as a way to introduce children from immigrant Hispanic families to an American classroom before they walk into one today for their first day of school.
A total of 60 children attended the first summer sessions of the museum’s pre-school program, Juntos al Kinder, Spanish for Together to Kindergarten. They were from five Nassau school districts ”” Hempstead, Freeport, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Westbury ”” with large numbers of families who speak little or no English at home.”
