Empowering Little Minds, Nurturing Young Hearts
At Pint-Size Playhouse, we believe that early childhood education should be a joyful and playful experience that fosters creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. Our licensed home preschool in South Austin has been dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children since 2007. Our approach is centered around the whole child, acknowledging that each child is unique and deserving of attention, care, and respect.
Our Approach
Our approach is built on the foundation of creative play, exploration, and discovery. We believe that children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and motivated. Our experienced and dedicated teachers create an environment that is rich in sensory experiences, art, music, movement, and imaginative play. Our eco-friendly learning environment is designed to promote physical activity, gross motor skills, and social-emotional development. We recognize the importance of outdoor play and provide a sustainable outdoor play yard that allows children to explore and learn about nature.
Enrichment Classes
In addition to our core curriculum, we offer a range of enrichment classes that complement our play-based approach. Our visiting teachers and experts share their skills and knowledge to enrich our children's experiences. We have yoga classes that promote relaxation and mindfulness, music and movement classes that foster creativity and self-expression, and literature-based activities that encourage reading and storytelling.
