Anyway, I'm commenting because I live in Inwood, and it's wonderful up here. There are many more spanish immersion programs in this neighborhood than french immersion.

As a former French teacher & French immersion kindergarten teacher, I hope to raise our kids bilingual (or tri-lingual as my husband's family is Puerto Rican)... and then hopefully get back into the classroom.
