For Educators
Empowering Educators with Multicultural Programs
& Bilingual Storytime Techniques
Criss Cross Mangosauce, LLC offers several programs to libraries interested in offering authentic multicultural programming for patrons. Our innovative programs help libraries connecting with Hispanic/Latino children and families in meaningful and culturally relevant ways.
Authentic arts-based programs in story times can be critical in nurturing the linguistic, cultural, and cognitive strengths of mainstream children as well as those with developmental challenges or those children labeled as English Language Learners (ELLs).
Our arts-based approach offers a way to bridge linguistic differences among children, educators and families by recognizing the full range of human potential for expression. and understanding.
Our services are perfect for libraries, schools, museums and all educators interested in resources for their bilingual communities.

for Libraries?
