Charlotte Bilingual Preschool Announces New Name Reflecting Growth and Expanded Impact
Charlotte, NC — Charlotte Bilingual Preschool is proud to announce that, effective July 1, 2026, the organization will officially transition to its new name: Charlotte Bilingual Learning Center. This change reflects the organization’s continued growth, expanded programming, and deepened commitment to serving more children, families, and educators across the community.
As a tuition-free institution, Charlotte Bilingual has spent almost three decades removing barriers to high-quality early education, ensuring that children from underserved communities have access to the tools they need to succeed. Through its bilingual model, the organization prepares students for lifelong academic and social achievement while strengthening connections between school, home, and community.
“This is more than a name change. It is a reflection of our evolution,” said Ana Silva Rey, Chief Executive Officer. “By changing our name to Charlotte Bilingual Learning Center, we are expanding how we serve our community by supporting children, families, and the educators who will shape future generations.”
Board leadership also emphasized the significance of this milestone. “Our new name signals both growth and intention,” said Jack Rand, Board Chair. “We are building on a strong foundation to reach more families, invest in educators, and ensure that high-quality bilingual education remains accessible at no cost to those who need it most.”
The transition to Charlotte Bilingual Learning Center aligns with the organization’s strategic plans for expansion, including increased capacity, enhanced programming, and stronger community partnerships. While the name is evolving, the mission remains the same: to provide access to high-quality bilingual education and empower children, families, and educators to thrive.
The organization invites its community of supporters, including families, donors, volunteers, and partners, to join in celebrating this exciting milestone. Additional updates and opportunities to engage will be shared in the coming months.
