8/16/24 - By Melanie Preis

Dual language and immersion preschools offer young children the chance to learn a second (possibly third) language and explore outside cultures. According to research, there are many benefits to introducing children into an immersive learning environment: biliteracy is good for brain development; learning language is easier for young kids; and students build strong social connections.

Here's some of the great Atlanta preschools that offer dual language education and immersion programs. Note: Some traditional Atlanta preschools now offer immersion classes and curriculum, so ask schools about language programs they may have recently adopted.
