About Nature Preschool Center:

Nature Preschool Center is dedicated to serving the South Austin and surrounding communities. We are here to give your little ones the best possible environment for their learning and fun. In Nature Preschool Center, children pursue their own interests at the pace of their choosing. Nature Preschool Center guides watch and provide guidance to steer and spawn interests on individual basis. Before they start any activity, children learn to prepare their environment. Our children work in multi-age group setting. Our multi-age grouping provides children with opportunities for broad social development. The younger children receive stimulation from the older children’s activities. The older children, in turn, benefit from helping the younger ones. They develop confidence, while solidifying their own concepts/knowledge, by teaching younger children. Our school in many ways resembles a family. Parental involvement adds to the Nature Preschool Center community spirit. Nature Preschool Center teaches kids to be independent, focused, motivated, curious, inquisitive, passionate, compassionate, tolerant, conscious of their surroundings, and above all – Love nature and be happy!
