The Children’s Center of Austin

The Children’s Center of Austin offers art, swimming, and other extracurricular activities in a setting that includes an art studio, swimming pool, gymnasium, library, STEM room, iLab, and enrichment activities. Children move through separate classrooms and active learning areas, including shady playgrounds that are safety certified by the state of Texas. The program uses a theme-based educational curriculum and a customized monthly curriculum in a safe, clean, and nurturing setting, with strict cleanliness practices such as handwashing policies for teachers and children and daily cleaning by a private cleaning service after hours.

• Ages: 0–10 years old
• Schedule: Monday–Friday, 6:30 am–6:00 pm

Professional staff at The Children’s Center of Austin encourage individual exploration and growth in a well-equipped environment that is stimulating, safe, consistent, and nurturing. The program’s mission states that it is built on the premise that each child is a unique individual with a definite growth and developmental pattern, that preschool and early childhood education are considered vitally important to children’s future, and that the task of the program is to provide children with love, security, and the opportunity to grow. The program notes that children journey throughout carefully designed active learning areas rather than remaining in the same room all day, and that parents are welcome to visit at any time. The Children’s Center of Austin also mentions community engagement and community events for the entire family. One testimonial describes the level of care and follow through with children as “stellar” and notes that the administration has worked to provide a partnered solution to help meet a child’s developmental needs, and that the parent “can’t imagine leaving my daughters in the care of any daycare or preschool other than CCOA Westlake.”
