Now Seeking Spanish-Speaking Franchisees
About Us
We didn’t set out to franchise. We simply wanted to create a warm, high-quality preschool where children could learn Spanish language and culture in a fun, natural way. That dream became The Pineapple School, a family-owned and operated Spanish immersion preschool in the heart of San Antonio.
Word spread quickly. Families were drawn to our joyful classrooms, bilingual approach, and the genuine warmth of our school environment. Three campuses later—all operating at full capacity—we felt a growing desire to expand our reach.
That’s when we realized: to make a bigger impact, we needed help. So we began to franchise—not to go big, but to go deeper. To partner with like-minded families and educators in new communities who share our vision and values.
The Pineapple School Franchising was born to serve this purpose. Today, we support passionate franchisees in launching and running their own bilingual preschools, rooted in quality, warmth, and heart.
Why Choose Us?
Bilingualism is a lifelong gift, yet most early childhood programs offer little to no exposure to other languages. The Pineapple School offers a Spanish immersion model that is natural, joyful, and deeply meaningful. And not just that—we provide a stimulating and loving environment where infants and young children can develop age-appropriate skills across all areas of learning: cognitive, physical, social, and emotional.
Our hands-on, play-based curriculum brings Spanish and Latin American culture to life through music, dance, literacy, games, and conversation. But our classrooms aren’t just rich in language—they’re rich in kindness and connection, too.
As a franchisee, you benefit from our proven systems, strong brand identity, and deep operational knowledge. You’re not starting from scratch—you’re joining a unique concept that blends business with purpose.
We’re not looking for cookie-cutter operators. We’re looking for heart-led leaders ready to bring something special to their neighborhood!
