[quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB. Our nanny is Venezuelan and while her English is great she speaks primarily spanish w/ our kids. I have been amazed at how little it impacts their ability to learn english simultaneously. They are 20 mths and know the words for all kinds of things in both languages (and they also know that we'll use English and she'll use Spanish and tailor their responses accordingly). They understand as much Spanish as English, and are at normal developmental levels in comprehension and speech in both languages. Don't worry about it - it will be hugely enriching for your daughter and it won't impact her ability to learn from and communicate with you at all. My only concern, as another poster said, would be ensuring that they can communicate effectively with you in English. Other than that, if you like the program and staff I wouldn't worry about it at all.[/quote]
