We know how daunting it can feel to find the right preschool for your family. Learning style, class size, reputation and real-world reviews all matter when you’re deciding where you feel comfortable sending your littlest ones out into the world. Of course, you’ll want to do your own research and find the best fit for your family, but to help get you started, we’ve rounded up a variety of Austin-area preschools by neighborhood, along with their learning styles and ages served. Good luck with those preschool applications!

FEATURED PRESCHOOL
1503 Morgan Ln, Austin, TX 78704
Athena Montessori Academy is an innovative Montessori school serving children from infancy through Kindergarten. We nurture the whole child—supporting academic, physical, social, and emotional growth while fostering a welcoming community where every child and family is known, valued, and respected.
Whether your child begins as an infant in Movers & Shakers, a toddler in Tots, or later in our Primary Program, each stage of the Athena experience builds on what came before and prepares them for what comes next. Through Kindergarten, children grow in independence, confidence, capability, and curiosity within thoughtfully prepared Montessori environments and within a diverse, supportive community that broadens their understanding of the world and one another.
