About this Nominee
Welcome to The Children’s Center of Austin Family
At The Children’s Center of Austin (CCOA), we believe early childhood should be filled with curiosity, confidence, and connection. For years, families have trusted us to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel loved, supported, and excited to learn every day.
Our theme-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum encourages hands-on learning, creativity, and exploration in a warm, joyful setting. All three of our campuses are thoughtfully designed with controlled access, separate age-appropriate classrooms, shaded playgrounds, and inviting activity spaces for art, music, swimming, and enrichment programs—creating a well-rounded experience for every child.
We pride ourselves on maintaining low child-to-teacher ratios, allowing our teachers to truly know each child and support their individual growth. Our dedicated educators are fingerprint and background checked, fully trained, and certified in CPR and First Aid, with ongoing professional development to stay current in best practices. Most importantly, they are caring, patient, and passionate about helping children reach meaningful milestones—building the foundation for lifelong learning.
