  14. Elvia writes: I’m Elvia Valdovinos. I like to come learn English because this is a good program for me and my babies. Together we can learn English and other things that babies need. Fernando like to read stories and go an play on the bus. I’m learning and Fernando is learning too. This program gives us the opportunity to learn together. They have people that care for our babies and teach the colors and vowels too. One day a month we have a trip together with the children. Sometimes we think that fun activities are for the babies but really that are fun for the parents too. Thanks to the program and thanks to the teachers that teach us English because they give us more than we need. I’m glad to learn with you.
