About Snapdragon Preschool
Snapdragon Preschool: Athletics and STEAM Focused
Snapdragon Preschool offers a unique approach to early childhood education by merging physical activity with STEAM-based learning. Located in South Austin, our program stands out by incorporating daily gymnastics, soccer, basketball, and yoga into the schedule. Founded by Natalie and Randy Egan, the school was born from a desire to provide a well-rounded experience where children can develop both their cognitive and physical abilities in a supportive, community-driven setting. Our facility features pod-style classrooms that allow for individualized attention and strong bonds between students and teachers. In addition to our specialized sports curriculum, children engage in number sense, Spanish basics, and artistic exploration. The outdoor space is designed for self-directed play and STEAM activities, ensuring children have ample room to explore their natural curiosity.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
My son has only been enrolled for 2 weeks but he has learned so much! The staff is amazing, they are so sweet, very attentive, and helpful. I love that class sizes are smaller and more intimate and it really helps that they provide pictures and updates throughout the day. My son is only enrolled for part time but we are looking to enroll him full time because he loves it so much and we love that he is enjoying it!
That’s an amazing place. My daughter absolutely in love with Snapdragon Preschool. Teachers are so nice, kind and supportive. A lot of activities, art, gymnastic, outdoor activities as well. Every time I pick my daughter up from school she doesn’t want to go home, she wants to spend extra time at school 😄. She goes to this preschool every day. Thank Snapdragon for everything you do!
Our daughter has had such a great year attending Snapdragon Preschool. She adores her coaches and the small class size allowed her to create strong bonds with her classmates. Everyday at pickup she is happy and smiling, looking forward to the next school day. She enjoys all of the activities, sports and gymnastics that are incorporated throughout the week as well as the fun, kind and nurturing nature of Hailey and Brad. Thank you to all the coaches who made this year SO special for all of our little snapdragons! Your daily positive vibes have not gone unnoticed:)
Snapdragon was a huge savior during the pandemic. The teachers and coaches really love the kids, and the kids love them! What a little gem of South Austin. The people make all the difference- I felt I could talk to anyone and they were very responsive. The kids made some lifelong friends! Bonus- a lot of the parents became friends too!
Snapdragon is the cutest little preschool! We enrolled our 4 year old this school year and he absolutely loves it. The teacher and coaches are amazing, and our kiddo always comes home happy. I love the small class size and the exposure to gymnastics/different sports. The facility is well-maintained with a great, covered outdoor area. We're very fortunate to have found Snapdragon!
