Daniela Perieda is passionate about bilingualism and education reform. She is the author of “Become a Bilingual Family – The Best Method For Raising Bilingual Children, Even If You Only Speak One Language” and is the Past President of the Oklahoma Association for Bilingual Education. She holds a Family Life Education – Child Development degree from the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, OK.

Daniela helps parents create meaningful relationships with their children while learning Spanish. She believes teachers and families play an important role in the development of the WHOLE child. For this reason, her goal is to create a community of bilingual families.

Bilingual Family began as Daniela’s dream. With the love, support and encouragement of Jon, her husband, it became a reality in 2013. As they started their own family, the meaning of Bilingual Family evolved. They are committed not only to raising bilingual children, but are also committed to creating a program that they would feel fortunate to send their children to. A program where children are respected as individuals and their unique gifts and skills are fostered. A program that will become a model for education reform. A program where families feel supported and connected.

Bilingual Family, found at bilingualfamily.us, is dedicated to fostering bilingualism and a love for learning in an environment that values the family as the primary teacher. With a commitment to full Spanish immersion and a mixed-age model, Bilingual Family school promotes a collaborative, growth-focused atmosphere that reflects the core belief that the family is instrumental in shaping a child’s educational experience.

All of Daniela’s past, present and future endeavors are rooted in the belief that "second language acquisition is all about RELATIONSHIPS"
