La Escuelita Arcoiris is a Spanish-immersion preschool in Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania, that provides year-round, nature-based learning for children ages 18 months through kindergarten. It is recognized as Pittsburgh's oldest program of its kind, emphasizing hands-on experiences and language exposure within a community setting. The school serves local families through an early childhood program focused on bilingual development. The program targets families seeking early bilingual growth and cross-cultural awareness in a safe, developmentally appropriate environment. It operates under an Emergent Curriculum framework, offering authentic and diverse educational experiences intended to support intellectual, cultural, and emotional development. The organization began in September 1999 in the home of founder Megan Rooney, M.Ed., with the aim of sharing the benefits of second-language learning at an early age.
