With a focus on a dual language program, individual cognitive, social and physical development, the bilingual teachers and staff at Pine Village all work towards the same mission: Through an emergent bilingual curriculum and culturally rich environment we nurture children, preparing them to be successful in life, confident learners and true friends. A quality Immersion based bilingual educational program is at the heart of the Pine Village curriculum. Through constant exposure to the Spanish language, cultural activities, games, songs and books, children at Pine Village are developing oral language skills in both English and Spanish. With a focus on individual development, Pine Village stresses small class sizes and excellent teacher/ student ratios.
