Bluebonnet Montessori is a wonderful school and community of teachers / parents. We’ve had a student there from the age of 2.5 to 7 and are very satisfied with the academic abilities (especially in math and reading,) love of learning, ability to be independent, and completion of large projects. The school aligns with my views on treating children as individuals that can meet personal challenges. If the child is advancing they make the work more challenging rather than treating all the kids as the same and just expecting one level of progress from the entire group.

Small class sizes and independent study allow kids to work in the directions that they are motivated for while the overall curriculum has an annual pattern to keep them well rounded and to bring newer kids up to speed while serving to refresh and reinforce the veteran kids. During the same class, kids at different ages and abilities become leaders that help each other. The younger ones are motivated to do the work the older ones can do and the older ones are helping the younger ones which reinforces the subject for themselves.

Of note are the foreign language programs, music, art and various after school classes like yoga. There are several annual gatherings where the kids sing, play, and do small performances for the group of parents and siblings.

It’s a very special school and community to be part of. There is a healthy balance of learning, work, and socialization that lets kids be confident and smart.

Would recommend it to anyone with children who are able to concentrate on tasks themselves. Those kids really take off at Bluebonnet because the pace of learning is largely self directed with teachers providing guidance, encouragement, and motivation.

Both my daughters attend this school and absolutely love it. The teachers are very skilled and nurturing, and the curriculum is challenging yet completely developmentally appropriate. Silvia, the school’s founder and director, is hands on and engaging and enthusiastically shares her love of nature and learning with the school community. The building itself is inviting and homey, and obviously designed with students in mind, surrounded by beautiful wooded grounds, complete with a nationally recognized butterfly garden. I highly recommend this school!

For anyone in Austin who needs a great school for their young ones I highly recommend Bluebonnet Montessori School of Lakeway. Having 4 kids who’ve been to many schools I can tell you this school and the teachers are uncommon in their level of caring and ability.

This is an amazing school. The teachers are compassionate, and they love teaching. Ms Silvia, the director, has a heart of gold. My son has attended Bluebonnet Montessori for 2 years, and he’s absolutely thriving here. He’s currently in first grade and already learning algebra and geometry! More importantly, he loves to learn and read! He picks up science books to read on his own, because learning is so fun for him!

My daughter will be attending here next fall when she turns 4. My only complaint is that they don’t go all the way through high school. 🙂

We had our son at another preschool when we heard about Bluebonnet Montessori. We moved our son to Bluebonnet b/c the curriculum far exceeds other programs out here. The curriculum is fun, engaging, challenging and very well rounded with robust music and art programs as well as Spanish and Mandarin classes.

The community of parents is wonderful; everyone is so welcoming. The quarterly potlucks are kicked off with a beautiful music participation lead by the AMAZING music teacher. Both of my kids participated in the after school art class and absolutely LOVED Miss Rebecca. My son also loved the yoga classes and meditation time. This past summer both of my kids did the summer camp and had a blast. My daughter didn’t attend Bluebonnet but was able to attend camp and art class as a sibling. She made wonderful friends and loved all of the activities.

I wish I had more kids to send to Bluebonnet to keep us there for many years!

Our oldest daughter attended pre-K at Bluebonnet last year and is now in the Kindergarten program there. She loves it. It’s the only thing that gets our little night owl up in the morning.

The Montessori Method emphasizes learning through hands-on doing. They have great, work activities for learning about letters and numbers using the sight, sound and touch senses.

They also have several potlucks throughout the year, which emphasizes their super music program. It’s also a good time to connect with the other parents, as it’s a really great community.

Our younger daughter is started this fall too. She is very excited to learn all of the songs, Spanish and Chinese like her big sister (especially how to say “Chocolate Ice Cream”…)

We couldn’t be happier with the programs they offer.
