[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why you aren't comfortable with full immersion?  Your 3 year old won't be fazed by it one bit.  After a month or two he/she will naturally understand that at school he/she will be using these other words.  They'll just switch over automatically.  You keep reading to your kid at home in English and when  he/she is in kindergarten, you'll have the beginnings of a biliterate kid.  When it all comes together they'll have such an advantage of learning in two languages.  [/quote]

my child is at MV in PreS and it was not as seamless as this poster makes it.  my child much prefers 'english' days.

the fall was challenging - part of it was the new school - there were a lot of tears at drop off not just from my child but from classmates as well.  Drop offs during spanish days were particularly  challenging for my child and children who did not speak spanish.  (my observation)

this became easier as time progresses - maybe if it was only spanish all the time the window would have been shorter ?

If you are on the fence - maybe you can go visit MV and see what it looks and feels like.  Obviously April is a lot different than Sept in a classroom of now mostly 4 YOs but it will give you a sense of what to expect.
