As our population continues to grow and more households have two parents in the workforce, the demand for childcare will continue to increase. Families in metropolitan areas already see months – if not years – long waiting lists to enroll their children in high quality early education programs. Tierra’s own Minneapolis locations see waiting lists well over a year long. With many markets not offering families a language immersion childcare option, Tierra will not only satisfy some of the immense demand for this growing market, it will provide parents an option they are excited about for their children. Study after study has shown that learning a second language at a young age has tremendous benefits. Children who learn a second language in an immersion environment have been found to have improved cognitive functioning, outscore their monolingual peers in verbal and math standardized tests, and are more empathetic in their ability to understand another’s perspective in communications. Further, the number of families that seek organic food has increased exponentially over the past decade. Tierra Encantada is ideally positioned to address both the growing demand for childcare and the increasing awareness of the importance of organic food and language learning.
