Empowering Children Through Play

 At WonderView, children play freely – exploring, growing, and learning in their own unique ways. Our play-based preschool is a small, nurturing community where children ages 3-5 are given the unhurried time to foster a deep sense of wonder and develop a sense of self in a magical space.

We treat families as partners: Enrolling in WonderView expands your child’s support team. Our team works as collaborators with parents working with you to support your child’s growth into their authentic selves. Experience our child-led preschool in East Austin with a tour!

Our Philosophy

 

“Play is the highest form of research.”Albert Einstein

Humans are naturally wired to learn through exploration. When children work through their wondering they begin to answer their own questions.

We believe natural learning of STEAM concepts happens best through play, without the pressure and anxiety that come with teacher-directed lessons.

Here, preschool is personal – a place where the child's interests are the curriculum and they are seen, respected, and valued as individuals.

“What truly sets WonderView apart, in my view, is its unwavering commitment to prioritizing the genuine needs of young children…”

Christina Y. , WonderView Parent

Play

We emphasize the importance of play-based, child-directed learning by creating a nurturing, fluid environment that allows children to learn naturally at their own pace.

Connection

Connecting by forming deep relationships, connecting what kids know to new ideas and connecting to nature is our three-pronged approach.

 

Discovery

By honoring each child’s natural curiosity and drive to explore, experiment, and wonder, we cultivate the essential skills and mindset they need to become confident, lifelong learners.

Growth

Empowering children to forge their own path and self-direct their learning not only helps them become confident and independent but anchors growth through experiences in a way that teacher-initiated activities cannot.
