Hola Knoxville Bilingual Academy

If you have the opportunity to send your child to Hola, you will be so very happy that you did. My husband and I were very particular about our daughter's schooling after being home for the first two years of her life. I truly couldn't imagine a better place for her than Hola. Mrs. Diana cares so deeply about her students and the curriculum. The children are always learning while still engaging in play. There's a beautiful balance of thoughtful education and creative and explorative play. The classroom size is very small, so each child receives meaningful one-on-one time and attention. My daughter is now fluent in Spanish and has also grown so much since starting at Hola. Mrs. Monica is also a wonderful caregiver. It's beautiful to see the relationship between her and the children. It truly is like a little family. Unfortunately we will be leaving soon as our family is moving abroad, and other than leaving our family, saying goodbye to Mrs. Diana, Mrs. Monica, and the Hola family is definitely one of the hardest parts! Please, do yourself and your child a favor, and enroll them in Hola Knoxville Bilingual Academy. I will always be grateful to them and the care they've shown my daughter!

This program is truly exceptional, thanks to the incredible care and dedication of Mrs. Diana. It's immediately evident that the teachers adore the children and are loved in return. There is a sense of community, of family, built into the entire process that extends out to the families. The daily Spanish immersion has helped my own skill development as well as for my child. The inside learning space is perfect for hands-on learning and creative arts and crafts keep the kids engaged, while the outdoor play area is a magical space for exploration and imagination. What truly sets this program apart is the way Mrs. Diana includes parents and families in the learning process, often celebrating the diverse heritages of the children through classroom activities and events.

If you want a place that incorporates, fun, academics, social skills, safe environment, as well as the opportunity to learn a second language. This is the place for your child. Rooms are filled with lovely decorations and supplies, weekly curriculum and enticing theme. Your child will strive in this happy environment. I personally know the owner Mrs. Diana for several years. She’s a great teacher and loves what she does!

Our experience at Hola has been remarkable. Diana and Ms.Monica are gifted caregivers that truly care about each and every child. You can see it in the way she greets, welcomes and hugs each child. The way every child reacts to her. It's an amazing thing to witness. The school itself, which occupies the downstairs of Diana's house, is an educational playground that encourages kids to play, discover, and learn. She plans thematic units that incorporate play-based learning, reading, writing, and integrate science and social studies. She shares the weekly lesson plan and encourages parent involvement. We enjoy volunteering on a regular basis. After two years, our child is basically fluent in Spanish and neither of us can speak a word. Watching him and Diana converse is such a treat. Needless to say, we highly recommend Hola and our child will benefit from this experience for years to come.

Hola Knoxville Academy is an Amazing place my son goes here and the Educational Curriculum is well structure base in the development of bilingual skills, also readiness for Kindergarten . Miss Diana is continuously improving the classroom with new material and learning techniques. The installations are well taking care and top notch. Miss Diana is very kind, caring, disciplined and knowledgeable professional.

We moved to Knoxville some time ago and found this pre-school on google as we were looking for a pre-school that would offer a bilingual program. Ms. Diana is the owner and teacher for the class, which currently consists of 7 children. She is an exceptionally talented teacher. She cares for the kids like they were her own. She not only teaches them concepts and skills to be successful in kindergarten but also in life. The kids learn to tend a garden, to cook and eat vegetables they grew in it, to share, to be respectful of each other, and to be kind. Our child is proficient in English, Spanish, and Italian, and we are very proud of the little girl she is. And Ms. Diana has played a huge role in shaping the kid she is today. Thank you Ms Diana for everything you do!!!

Hola Knoxville Bilingual Academy is a gem! I cannot be more pleased to experience the growth of my now - Kindergarder. His emotional and intellectual development is amazing, in addition to his capability to transition from spanish to english. Mrs. Diana takes time to learn each student, allows them to be kids, she welcomes parents' ideas and involvement, and shares mutual respect with the parent group. She loves the kids, and the kids loves her equally! Immersing your child in a second, third, or fourth language is such a wonderful experience, and Hola Knoxville Bilingual Academy should be considered!
