Congratulations to the first graduates of a full-Spanish-immersion bachelor's degree cohort in Early Childhood Education at North Seattle College funded by scholarships from Child Care Aware of Washington!
This is the first program of its kind in Washington State, serving mostly monolingual students that face challenges within the broader educational system. This program was designed entirely in Spanish and offered remotely, eliminating barriers to higher education and preparing professionals in the child care industry who reflect the cultural and linguistic diversity of Hispanic Communities. These scholars excelled in this environment, and will now be able to use their knowledge to help children in their care thrive.
