About Woodland Montessori
Woodland Montessori with Spanish and Dance
Serving the Northwest Austin community since 1999, Woodland Montessori emphasizes independent learning and academic readiness. The program utilizes traditional Montessori materials and mixed-age classrooms to help children develop critical thinking and life skills at their own pace. Parents highlight that students often enter elementary school well ahead of their peers in reading and math. The curriculum is enriched with twice-weekly Spanish lessons from a private instructor and weekly Kinderdance sessions. Students engage in hands-on science activities, including exploring the outdoors with magnifying glasses and learning to use microscopes. The facility features dedicated areas for play and cognitive development. Director Rushani Pathirana leads a stable team noted for low turnover and a patient, attentive approach to childcare.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
My son has been here since he was 3 months old and he turned 2 in April. We love this place. Absolutely love the teachers. My son's vocabulary is more advanced than my oldest was at this age. He is very talkative and active and I attribute that to the environment here. We are moving to Georgetown otherwise I would never leave this place. It is such a great feeling knowing your kiddo is happy to see the teachers...even jumping into their arms at times.
My children have attended Woodland Montessori for two years. The teachers are very kind, attentive and patient. Both of my children have learned so much! I am impressed by their curriculum and learning standards. The facility is very clean, with lots of space to learn and play. I would not hesitate to recommend this school!
Both our children went to Woodland, from 1.5yrs old all the way to kinder. The teachers are super caring and attentive, and the kids loved the place and the teachers. Also they do a very good job with reading, the Montessori materials and also making kids independent with eating, putting away things etc. I would highly recommend Woodland.
Both of my daughters grew up in Woodland Montessori. Our oldest daughter (8) has graduated and moved into elementary. She was easily ahead of the majority of her classmates entering into kindergarten. Now, our youngest daughter (5) is in her final year at Woodland and she is also more than prepared to begin elementary school. I cannot speak more highly of the family that runs Woodland. Each morning when we arrive we are greeted with a huge smile. They have been extremely caring for our children. Both of our daughters LOVED going to school each day. It is safe and friendly environment, but also stimulating and engaging for the children. I highly recommend Woodland Montessori!
My kids are 10 and 8, and both of them "grew up" in Woodland Montessori since they were 3 months old until kindergarten. Woodland wasn't just a daycare for us. They truly came aside us to love and raise our boys. Because it is family owned and run, there is literally no turn over and they are passionate and invested. My kids were well ahead the curve by the time they entered school. To this day, they fondly talk of the teachers. Honestly, words will never be adequate for me to rate Woodland. We were blessed beyond measure to find this place.
