Little Learning Grove

Little Learning Grove Nature-Based Preschool

Little Learning Grove is a South Austin preschool and kindergarten situated in a converted home that prioritizes the wonder of childhood. Founded by parents seeking a more intentional approach to early education, the program offers a tech-free, student-centered environment where learning is rooted in hands-on discovery and social interaction. Children spend their days exploring both a well-equipped playroom and an expansive backyard centered around an ancient live oak tree. The school is led by Director Brittney Simmons, a Texas State Teacher of the Year winner with deep expertise in Montessori and Whole Brain Learning. Alongside a team of seasoned educators and on-site speech therapy support, the program focuses on developing executive function and social-emotional intelligence. Following the local school calendar, LLG provides a community-oriented space where children are encouraged to get messy, be curious, and grow through purposeful play.
