Science is a universal language, and teaching it bilingually celebrates and validates the cultural and linguistic diversity of students. Studies indicate that bilingual education promotes cognitive flexibility, better problem-solving abilities, and heightened creativity—all essential skills for budding scientists. Additionally, bilingual science instruction helps families engage with their children's learning by making science accessible to families who may not speak English.
This school year, Kiddie Science is thrilled to be partnering with the Cypress Hills Childcare Corporation to expand our bilingual science offerings to their entire network of childcare locations!
Historically, Hispanic and bilingual students have been tremendously underrepresented in STEM fields. Our goal is to help change this trajectory by fostering confidence and enthusiasm for science from an early age. By presenting bilingual programming we’re not just teaching science, we’re creating a more equitable future where every child has the opportunity to thrive in STEM.
