Brightest Horizons

Overview:

English as a second language

Mission:

Brightest Horizons Child Development Center provides education and developmental day care for children of low-income working families.

 

 

Zonta Partnership:

In a pilot program begun in early 2008, ten Zonta members are tutoring English-as-a-Second Language (ESL). Eighty-five percent of the parents and 70 percent of  the child care staff can benefit by developing their ESL skills.

The teachers want better proficiency to teach the English immersion curriculum. The parents, predominately single women, want to improve their skills to succeed in becoming U.S. citizens, in the workplace, and in assisting their children.
