Supporting Spanish-speaking early childhood professionals through various initiatives.

A young child engages in a creative activity, painting with their fingers on paper, while an adult assists and guides them. The child, adorned in a pink tutu-like skirt, appears focused on the task. The setting includes a pink chair and a bright yellow frame in the background.
