About Us
Report
Sisters and long time educators, Claire Smith and Hannah Rosenbaum, founded Austin Play Garden in 2014. The idea to open a school for the Austin community came from their experiences in child care, public schools and working with families in general. They believe that early childhood is the most important time developmentally in a person's life.

Infant Program
Report
The Infant Program is designed to provide a nurturing yet challenging environment to our youngest learners. We believe that all children are unique in their developmental paths and our program reflects that. Through observation of play and responsive care, we encourage children to journey through this stage at their own pace all while building independence.
Preschool Program
Report
Students are the guiding force in our school community. Respecting others, the environment, and creating positive relationships are goals that students and teachers are working to maintain everyday. Focusing on modeling of behaviors, communication and appreciating multiple perspectives will aid students in meeting these goals.
