About The Childrens House - Tots
Holistic Montessori in South Austin Bungalows
The Childrens House offers a nurturing, home-like environment across two dedicated bungalow houses in the heart of South Austin. Guided by the Montessori method, the program integrates social-emotional learning and peace education, ensuring every child feels like an active community member. Lead teachers are classically trained and certified, providing a stable foundation for learners from 18 months through 6 years of age. The campus includes the Tots House and Primary House, complemented by two large open playgrounds designed for integrative play. With class sizes kept intentionally small and teacher-to-student ratios maintained below state requirements, the school acts as a seamless bridge between home and educational career. Families are treated as valued partners, fostering a collaborative village atmosphere in a safe, peanut-free facility with specific options for half-day, full-day, and after-school care.
