Bilingual is Beautiful: How to Encourage Bilingual Learning with Canticos

On this episode of Tamarindo, we are joined by Susie Jaramillo, President & Chief Creative Officer of Canticos.  Canticos is a bilingual early childhood brand that through books, a show on Nick Jr. and an award winning educational app uses a storyteaching approach to deliver personalized bilingual learning experiences to the little ones in our lives.   Susie offers inspiring nuggets of wisdom for aspiring entrepreneurs as she shares how Canticos was born from observing her young bicultural children and listening to the growing whispers of her heart.  We also get into the incredible power of learning two or more languages for our brain development, empathy building, and cultural competence. Being bilingual is beautiful  AND powerful!  As part of our partnership with Canticos, we are giving away 3 bilingual learning books! To enter, head to our instagram page! The giveaway ends on Friday March 12th at 11:59pm PST.  As mentioned on the pod, you can access Planned Parenthood’s telehealth services here: www.plannedparenthood/tamarindo Registration for our event with award-winning journalist Alicia Menendez of the Latina to Latina podcast can be found here: https://linktr.ee/tamarindopodcast We’re now accepting pitches!
