Detelina kindergarten in Pomorie is starting a Bulgarian language course for parents of bilingual children, the kindergarten said.
Some parents have already applied. Classes will be held twice a week at the kindergarten. The schedule will be posted on Detelina's official website.
The kindergarten developed the course itself to extend its help for bilingual children and their families. It adds to the "Strong Start" project, under which Detelina teachers already give children extra Bulgarian lessons. Support now reaches from the child to the whole family.
The kindergarten said language development does not end at kindergarten but continues at home, in everyday talk between parent and child. The course aims to help parents speak Bulgarian with more confidence and take a more active part in their children's language development, so the children are better prepared for the challenges of school.
Kindergarten head Tanya Arabadzhieva has worked with bilingual children for years. Her 2007 degree project was on "Working with Bilingual Children of Primary School Age".
In 2025, she defended a thesis in Varna titled "Assessing the Bulgarian Language Skills of Bilingual Children of Pre-School Age".
