Community Spotlight

“This is Us” Series

The “Community Spotlight” is a series of posts for “This is Us” featuring families in our community and their journey to raise multilingual children.

We are so inspired by all the family stories you’ve shared with us. We want to share your story with others who are also raising multilingual kids as well. Through sharing tips and experiences, we hope families will feel that it is possible to add Chinese as part of their home languages.
