About Bethany School
Bethany School Preschool and Kinderbridge
Operating in Austin for over 37 years, Bethany School focuses on the development of the whole child through a play-based curriculum. The program is uniquely equipped with specialized facilities including a science lab, library, music room, and movement area. Children transition through age-appropriate classrooms designed to foster social confidence and language skills in a nurturing environment. Following 'Safe Sanctuary' policies, the school maintains a large staff of over 40 dedicated personnel. While the program emphasizes spiritual growth, the daily schedule is highly structured around exploration and movement. Parents should note the part-time hours, typically concluding by 1:00 PM, which makes this an ideal fit for families seeking a transitional educational experience before elementary school.
What Parents Say
3 reviews from parents
We had the best experience at Bethany after a challenging one at a different pre-k. Every staff member is so overjoyed to see your child, they have gym, library, and science class, and it’s just bursting with heart. We had Mrs Hare for pre-k and she really helped my daughter prepare for kinder. I wish we could stay longer. Thank you, Bethany Preschool!
