Nourish Interactive Spanish Website Recognized by Association for Library Services for Children

We are so honored and thrilled that our Nourish Interactive Kids Section in Spanish has been just awarded the "Great Websites for Kids" award!*  

This award is so special to us as it is the first award that is specifically to our Spanish version of the website.

We made the commitment long ago to provide all our content for families and children in English and Spanish.  This has been challenging at times to keep but we never wavered.  We know the Hispanic community, in particular, is a group that needs quality content and we are happy to provide that service for free.

Our materials and games are all professionally translated by our wonderful translator, Gonzalo.  We do not use automated software because we want to make sure that is correctly translated and culturally sensitive.
