Welcome to Little Lotus Preschool, where joyful learning
blossoms every day!
As Leander’s newest play-based preschool, we blend the best of Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies to create a nurturing, child-centered environment. Our mission is to inspire creativity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning for every child who walks through our doors.
At Little Lotus Preschool, we believe children learn best through hands-on exploration, meaningful projects, and real-world experiences. Our teachers are currently working toward NAMC 3–6 certification, ensuring your child benefits from both expert guidance and a curriculum rooted in proven educational methods. We carefully design our classrooms and outdoor spaces to encourage curiosity, collaboration, and discovery.
Our curriculum is aligned with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards, integrating early literacy, numeracy, science, and the arts. Every day, children participate in activities that build social-emotional skills, foster independence, and spark creative expression. Whether it’s painting, gardening, music, yoga, or imaginative play, we make learning joyful and meaningful.
Nature is at the heart of our program. Our outdoor adventures help children appreciate the environment, develop physical coordination, and connect with the world around them. We believe that time spent outdoors encourages resilience, problem-solving, and a sense of wonder.
Our small class sizes mean every child receives individual attention and care. We work closely with families to create a supportive, collaborative community—one that celebrates each child’s unique strengths and interests. At Little Lotus Preschool, your child will be known, valued, and encouraged to grow in every way.
We are now enrolling ages 0-5! If you’re seeking a preschool in Leander that combines academic readiness with creativity, independence, and outdoor exploration, we invite you to schedule a tour and experience the Little Lotus difference.
