Liss highlights community-based and family child care language pathways

First, I want to just say one thing in response to what you were just talking about in terms of the path for children to be able to articulate from program to program.

And then I'll turn to my colleagues to talk a little bit about expansion.

But do you want to just, of course, highlight, obviously, we're talking about schools and the continuity opportunity within schools.

We also know that so many of our community-based organizations and family child care homes provide an incredibly rich multilingual experience for children.

And for many families, that may be where they are comfortable with their child attending early childhood education for a variety of reasons, including language access.

And we certainly want to help families understand those pathways as well, that they can learn in their home language in a community-based program or a family child care setting and then articulate into kindergarten at their local elementary school.

So for families, the pathways may not necessarily mean staying in the same building, but certainly we want to make sure we are talking about all of our early childhood settings and the language opportunities within them.

But I'll pass to my colleagues to talk a bit more about future expansion.
