I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m Jenna – mom of three, bilingual educator, and literacy specialist. I created Bilingual Balance to equip and inspire families raising bilingual kids!
I have experience teaching in bilingual (Spanish and English) programs in three different states, and I have a Master’s degree as an elementary reading specialist. But my favorite role is mom to my three little ones!
I love the Spanish language and learning about other cultures, and I’m passionate about encouraging kids and adults to do the same.
My hope is that the information, tips, and resources I share will be supportive and encouraging for your family or your teaching. I hope Bilingual Balance can inspire you to make language learning fun and meaningful for kids!
As a bilingual teacher, I’ve worked with so many wonderful families who made the choice to raise their kids bilingually and enroll them in a bilingual school. Learning another language is truly an invaluable and lifelong gift – with countless cultural, social, academic, and economic benefits.
I’ve searched for and gathered quality resources for improving my own instruction and for inspiring families looking to help at home. As a dual language teacher, I worked with students who were English language learners and Spanish language learners. So you’ll find that the resources I create for you are available in BOTH languages!
As parents, my husband and I knew we wanted to raise our children to be bilingual, and to start as early as possible. So our three children have been learning Spanish and English all of their lives, and I love to see their little hearts and minds grow as they learn.
Bilingual parenting has become an incredible passion of mine, and I’d love to come alongside you as you raise your own little linguists. Find out more about our bilingual parenting strategy in this post.
