tongues for children

This would be my dream for my own kids, but I'm a little nervous about the "we" in this quote. Good thought though:

We must do everything in our power to introduce the second language as early as possible, the earlier the better. Nursery school is better than kindergarten, kindergarten better than first grade, and first grade better than later grades. The ideal circumstance would be to have children learn both languages at the same time, long before formal schooling begins, but since this is not a likely possibility, we must remember that the closer we can come to such a situation, the better it will be for the children.
