We have had our kids at this school for five years now. The new campus is a wonderful joining of the two previous smaller ones into a single community that lives the Montessori philosophy. You couldnt ask for a better community of souls dedicated to nurturing their childrens hearts, minds, and souls. This school plays a big role in our community and our lives.Mariposa is also the only fully accredited Montessori school in Travis county.

Every day we are incredibly grateful that we found Mariposa Montessori school. Our daughter has been at the school since she was 18 months old, and we are continually amazed at the quality and professionalism of the teachers, the loving care of every single staff member at the school, and the thriving, supportive parent community. When we first toured the school, I remember asking a parent in the parking lot what she liked best about the school, and her response was, Theres a lot of love here. We have found that to be more than true. The sense of warmth and comfort we feel when we drop our daughter off each morning is palpable. She truly loves school and runs into Miss Kelseys classroom eagerly every day. The guides, support staff, and other children are like family to her, and I feel so much calmer as a parent knowing she is in great hands, especially because she is there for the full day including after-care, which goes all the way from 8:30 am - 5:30 pm. (Before 18 months, she used to attend a large chain daycare center in south austin, and I always felt vaguely nervous and uneasy when I left her there each day. The peace of mind I feel now dropping her off each day is considerable. It has made me a happier, healthier parent--more able to enjoy my career without feeling guilty about the time I spend away from her!)In addition to providing an excellent educational and social environment for the kids, Mariposa also has a number of great programs and resources for the parents. Every month there are guest speakers or teachers who come in the evening to lead lectures, talks, and workshops to educate parents. These are free to the parents, and there is even usually free childcare for the kiddos in a separate room during these events. Weve learned so much from these programs. Theyve shaped our approach to parenting and given us valuable opportunities to connect with other parents in the community. The community picnics, mom & dads happy hours, etc. are also great. Meanwhile, our daughter is thriving intellectually and socially.

Great school with teachers who really care. Actual Montessori, not a daycare with a Montessori sing like some places.

Love this school for my kids!

A lot of activists for the kiddos to do.
