COMMUNITY & VALUES

Discovery Schools is more than a preschool—we are a close-knit community built on relationships, trust, and shared values. Our school culture nurtures children, families, and educators through connection, respect, and care.

Our core values include:

Respect for children as capable, curious learners
Care as the foundation of early childhood education
Strong partnerships with families
A commitment to nature-based learning and environmental awareness
A welcoming, inclusive community where everyone belongs

We bring these values to life by welcoming parents into our classrooms through an open-door policy, inviting them to observe and participate in daily activities. This hands-on approach allows families to experience their children’s learning and play firsthand, deepening connections between home and school.

Our community is further strengthened through a rich variety of classroom celebrations and school-wide events. From seasonal festivals to family gatherings and collaborative projects, these experiences create meaningful opportunities for children, parents, and staff to connect and celebrate together. The friendships and bonds formed here are strong, often lasting well beyond a child’s time at our campuses, creating lifelong connections for both children and families.

By modeling empathy, collaboration, and kindness, we help children learn how to care for themselves, others, and the world around them. These values guide everything we do across our Austin preschool campuses.
