[quote=Anonymous]I can't really speak to the relative quality of any of the schools listed, but I have worked with a fair number of ESOL kids (not as an ESOL teacher, as other school staff.) Kids at that age pick up language extremely quickly if they're immersed in it. In my experience, students who come in at the beginning of the year speaking no English spend about the first five or six months not saying much at all, then start to gain confidence and really blossom. That's not to say that they'll be fluent that early, but they'll be able to participate in class, interact with friends, etc. And, with her coming in so young there's a good chance that she'll catch up with her peers pretty quickly.[/quote]
