Green Sprout Preschool 2108 E. M. Franklin Avenue, Austin, TX 78723

"Let me begin by saying that my child has had an amazing experience at Green Sprout (GS) and I would highly recommend this school. GS is a very special place. The school provides some of the highest quality care and education I’ve seen or heard of occurring at any daycare (and I'm an education researcher). I’m impressed with the school across aspects. The school leaders do a great job recruiting, training, and retaining amazing teachers (no easy task) and the montessori, play-based with guidance philosophy of education is consistent across teachers in the school. Unlike many early childhood centers, every teacher is terrific and there is a low level of turnover in the teachers. The school administrators and teachers are very thoughtful about the physical environment (without going overboard). Most basically, the school is very clean and safe. But, beyond that, all the toys and activities are carefully curated and frequently rotated to give students new, stimulating learning experiences and the outdoors space is very nice. The sense of community is strong (but not burdensome). The administration is organized, clear, and kind, with excellent communication skills. The teachers are also great about keeping parents informed about what is going on at school. My 1 year old child sincerely loves the people at Green Sprout. When I bring her there in the morning, it's like bringing her to hang with extended family. My only regret is that I'm having to leave this school too soon due to a move out of Austin."
