Oh, this is a pet peeve of mine. If one is to live in USA, one needs to learn the language of the country which is English. Hard to tell though when you make a phone call and you are told to press one for English and two for Spanish. I don't know what happens though if you only speak one of the asian languages, or anyother language.
As for the 3 year old you will be having, I have found that having flash cards with pictures of common things, items, ect (with the word or beginning alpha letter) and use them during circle time. You can also use the picture cards around the room such as blocks for the block area, dolls, cars, ect. This way if the child points at it you, helper, or even the children can say what it is in English.
One of the plus's of being 3yo is that he will pick up the language very quickly; it is just the way baby, toddlers and preschools brain is wired.
