Connecting children to nature with a Montessori curriculum
Located on two acres in Round Rock, Acres Grove Nature School aims to serve all families in the North Austin community.
Our Philosophy
We believe in a deeply respectful, Montessori-inspired approach to child development, guiding children from infancy through the elementary years. Our guides thoughtfully prepare environments that nurture independence, curiosity, and a true sense of belonging.
Rooted in both Montessori philosophy and nature-based learning, we honor the development of the whole child-cognitive, physical, social, and emotional. Through hands-on exploration, meaningful work, and daily connection to the natural world, children grow in confidence, self-awareness, and a genuine love of learning.
Our guides model calm, intentional communication, offering support when needed and stepping back to allow children the space to try, problem-solve, and grow independently.
