The curriculum we use at Hola Knoxville Bilingual Academy is based on The Creative Curriculum for Family Child Care. The curriculum provides a nurturing, educational, and developmentally-appropriate framework for our in-home preschool and give us an opportunity to provide exceptional bilingual Preschool preparation. The curriculum has two goals: To help children learn about themselves and the world around them and to encourage children to feel good about themselves and capable as learners. Hola Knoxville Bilingual Academy was established on the belief that every child should learn a second language. We provide a safe, loving, play-based learning environment that supports optimal language learning by integrating language learning in to the day-to-day activities across our curriculum. Diana Peon Owner and Early Childhood Educator I was born and raised in Colombia. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from Pellissippi State Community College and continue to study for my bachelor’s degree. I believe it is important for children for children to have natural exposure to language through meaningful activities and interactions. Through this way of being in the world, children not only acquire a second language, but also raise their cultural awareness and sensitivity. Working in early childhood education field has been one of the most fascinating and meaningful experiences of my life.
