Our center tries to hire those who speak dual language. We don't live in a very diverse community so it's not a requirement for us. I do believe that learning another language early on Is very important. The schools in our area don't begin to teach another language until 8th grade (and it's not a requirement to graduate hs either), unless you go to a private school. They try to convert those who speak anything but English, to speak English.
I'm hoping by the time my future children are SA, that curriculums will accommodate for children to be dual language ( English & Spanish).
