Founded in 1982, Casa Montessori is a non-profit center providing a high-fidelity Montessori experience in Old West Austin. Serving children ages 3 to 6, the program adheres to the rigorous standards of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).

The campus emphasizes a connection to nature, featuring a backyard pollinator garden and playscape where children explore daily. Known by families as a 'safe harbor,' the school fosters independence, responsibility, and social grace in a calm, focused atmosphere. With a legacy spanning over four decades, Casa Montessori maintains deep community roots, often seeing alumni return as parents. The environment is purposefully arranged to nurture the whole child's natural desire to learn and discover.
