Southwest Austin Campus

Because the relationships that your child builds here are an integral part of their development. We don’t just care for your children; they are a part of our community. Our teacher-to-child ratios are lower than Texas state licensing standards at every age, so your child gets more one-on-one time, more meaningful connections, and more of the attentive care they deserve. Children who start as infants grow up knowing their teachers, and parents become part of a community of families who’ve been on the same journey. For many Southwest Austin families, that type of continuity is exactly what they are looking for. 

Infant spots are our most requested and fill quickly. We encourage families to reach out well before their due date to learn about current availability. Contact our Southwest Austin campus directly, and we’ll walk you through your options.

Social and emotional development isn’t a separate curriculum item. At Country Home Learning Center, social/emotional learning is woven into every part of the day. From how we structure group time and lessons to how teachers guide conflict resolution and help children build friendships, we’re intentional about helping kids develop the tools they’ll rely on in kindergarten and beyond.

Our outdoor spaces are designed for active, exploratory play with shaded structures, open areas for movement, and an environment that encourages kids to get outside and engage with the world around them. Our Southwest Austin location features a splash pad and water deck, a putt-putt course, and developmentally appropriate shaded playgrounds built for your child’s growth. For families in Southwest Austin who value time outdoors, our outdoor spaces are a natural extension of our approach to learning. 

Most often, families mention three things: the staff who truly know their child, the campus amenities like our gym, technology center, and water park, and the feeling that this center is part of their community, not just a service they’re purchasing. 

 Yes. Texas Rising Star is a quality rating system administered by the Texas Workforce Commission that certifies programs exceeding the state’s minimum childcare standards. Earning this certification reflects our ongoing commitment to high-quality care, and gives families an independent, third-party validation of what we do every day.

Country Home Learning Center has been serving Texas families since 1982, and our Southwest Austin location reflects that long-standing commitment to quality childcare. Our history provides a solid foundation for your child’s early education, and a decades-long reputation that you can trust. 

Families in Circle C Ranch choose us because we’re close to home, a consistent presence in this community for decades, and offer the kind of personalized care you won’t find at larger chains. Our staff knows families by name, and many of our enrolled families have referred their neighbors, family, and friends, which speaks volumes about the trust we’ve built here.

 Our Escarpment Blvd campus, just around the corner from Escarpment Village, is minutes from Shady Hollow, Bear Creek, and Circle C Ranch. Whether you’re heading toward the 290/71 corridor or commuting into downtown Austin, drop-off and pick-up fit naturally into your route. Our campus is a natural choice for many families throughout the 78739 and 78749 zip codes.

In an area with many childcare options, we stand out through our small class sizes, staff who stay year after year, our play-based Cognia accredited and Texas Rising Star certified programs, and a genuinely warm environment that larger centers struggle to replicate. Parents who’ve toured other nearby programs consistently tell us the difference is evident the moment they walk in.

Yes, we serve home-cooked meals prepared fresh every day. We are proud to offer nutritious, home-cooked meals. Our morning snack, hot lunch, and afternoon snack are prepared at the center and served in each classroom. All of our meals are well-balanced and planned to meet your child’s nutritional requirements. Our menus are posted monthly, and copies are available from the Director. You are welcome and encouraged to drop by and join your child for lunch when your schedule permits. Just let us know by 10:00 a.m. so that we can include you in our lunch plans. We ask that our parents encourage their children to either eat breakfast before coming to school or join us for our optional breakfast program. This gives your child the extra fuel needed for a busy morning. 

Our curriculum is accredited by Cognia and certified by Texas Rising Star. Cognia is the same accreditation body that evaluates K-12 public and private schools. Our accreditation and certification mean our program meets rigorous educational standards. Children build early literacy, math foundations, and the social/emotional skills they’ll need at Kiker, Bear Creek, Baldwin, or wherever their elementary journey takes them.

We provide care for children from infancy through school age,  including toddler, preschool, kindergarten, after-school care, and summer camp programs tailored to support each developmental stage. Families who start with us in the infant room often stay all the way through elementary school care, so your child never has to start over with a new set of caregivers, and you never have to rebuild that trust from scratch.

Where larger centers in this corridor prioritize volume, we prioritize relationships. Our intentionally smaller class sizes mean teachers genuinely know your child, their learning style, their comfort level, and what helps them settle in on a hard morning. Our play-based curriculum has your child learning from the early stages of development, and our facilities are structured for your child’s delight, development, and education. 

Yes. Our Escarpment Blvd location sits at a natural crossroads for Southwest Austin families, whether you’re heading east toward downtown, north toward MoPac, or out toward 290/71. Drop-off takes minutes, so you can conveniently get to where you are going.
