Your concerns are reasonable. You want your daughter to understand her lessons and learn to read and write in both languages. **I would ask for a clear plan before deciding whether to change classes.**

A Spanish-heavy kindergarten can be part of a well-designed dual-language program. Some programs begin with most instruction in Spanish and gradually increase English instruction in later grades. They include native English speakers, so full Spanish fluency at entry is not necessarily expected. [California Department of Education](https://www.cde.ca.gov/SP/ML/edgedli.asp)

Your concern about **English reading this year** deserves a specific answer. Programs differ: some teach literacy in both languages from the beginning; others introduce formal English reading later. For example, Edison Language Academy begins literacy instruction in Spanish and introduces formal English reading in second grade. That illustrates why “two days in English” alone doesn’t tell you what your daughter will learn.

Ask for a meeting with the teacher and the school’s bilingual-program coordinator. Bring your husband, and ask:

- **What kind of program is this?** Is it designed for children entering with limited Spanish, and how was her placement determined?
- **When will she receive explicit English reading and writing instruction?** What are the kindergarten goals in each language?
- **What does “I’ll help her” mean in practice?** Ask about pictures, demonstrations, small-group instruction, and help understanding directions.
- **How will assessments account for her Spanish level?** A Spanish-only task may leave you unsure whether she struggled with the concept or the language.
- **When will we review her progress?** Arrange an early check-in and ask what additional support or placement options are available.

At home, keep reading and talking with her in English. Your husband can share Spanish books, games, and conversation. The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages families to continue using their home languages and reading together. Keep it enjoyable and ask the teacher how home activities can support classroom learning.

With your husband, you might say: “We both want her to know both languages. I want us to understand how this school will support her Spanish and teach her English reading.”

If the school offers a concrete plan and your daughter is participating and progressing, I’d be comfortable giving the program a chance. If she remains distressed, cannot access lessons despite support, or the English-literacy timetable doesn’t meet your family’s goals, revisit the placement promptly. You can value bilingualism and still choose the classroom that best fits her needs.
