Spanish Schoolhouse Southlake is a Spanish language immersion preschool and kindergarten center at 360 S Nolen Dr in Southlake, serving toddlers through early elementary-age children. Operating since 2006, it maintains a 6:1 student-teacher ratio with zero high-severity HHSC deficiencies, and has earned a 4.8-star parent rating for its intensive cultural immersion approach—children routinely hold full Spanish conversations after multiple years of enrollment. The center operates M–F 7:30am–6:00pm and includes summer camp and after-school programming. A meaningful caveat: it follows an August–May school calendar and does not serve infants, making it incompatible with year-round working families seeking full-time care.
