About the Author

Hello readers, I’m Janie Rodriguez!
As a master bilingual kindergarten teacher with over 20 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my career to nurturing young minds and fostering a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. My classroom is a space where children thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally—supported by a teaching approach that values curiosity, connection, and joy.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, I’m passionate about bilingual education and the cultural understanding it brings. I believe that learning a second language opens doors to new friendships, diverse experiences, and a broader view of the world. That’s why I love helping young learners discover Spanish through engaging, playful vocabulary-building and daily practice.
Inspired by my students’ eagerness to learn, I’ve published several bilingual children’s books designed to support early language acquisition in a fun and accessible way. My work aims to spark language confidence in children ages 3–6, guiding them toward becoming great readers, expressive writers, and thoughtful communicators.
I hold certifications in both Early Childhood Education and Bilingual Education—credentials that reflect my lifelong commitment to empowering children through language, and literacy.
