Hola Knoxville Bilingual Academy

Spanish and English share the day at Hola Knoxville Bilingual Academy, an in-home preschool at 9901 Coral Springs Lane in Knoxville, owned and taught by Diana Peon. The program is Spanish immersion childcare licensed by the State of Tennessee and accredited by the National Association for Family Child Care, and it serves as the East Tennessee demonstration site for the Southeast Tennessee Child Care Resources and Referral Network. Both languages are woven into a play-based curriculum built on the Tennessee recommended preschool and pre-K curriculum. A half day program runs 8:15 am to 12:15 pm or until 2:30 pm, and the full program runs 7:45 am to 4:30 pm, five days a week, with a morning snack in the half day tuition and morning and afternoon snacks in the full day. Separate Spanish classes and a summer program take children ages 2 to 10. The business is owned by women and by Latinx owners. Rated 4.8 from 16 Google reviews, 15 of them five stars.
