The Pint-Size Playhouse is an in-home early child care option in the city of Austin serving parents looking for a family-like environment, a small, cozy setting and small group sizes. As a home-based provider, The Pint-Size Playhouse can provide a smoother transition for your little one from your home to a learning environment - along with all the social and developmental gains you'd expect in any environment designed to unlock children's creativity and play! The Pint-Size Playhouse additionally provides a full-time schedule that allows parents and students to get the best out of early care and education. Full-time education offers that structured learning environment for skills to grow, growth to happen and play to abound! Students get the opportunity to form lasting bonds with children their own age and a true community with staff, all the while parents have those long blocks of time to provide for their little ones. In addition, The Pint-Size Playhouse takes a play-based approach to child development and education. Play-based curriculums emphasize students having the independence to explore their own interests at the time, be they creative, constructional, observational or artistic, and emphasize students being hands-on and natural with their activities. Staff at play-based curriculums take an active role in the discovery and learning process, encouraging students to dig in, explore, and cooperate with their peers to create the world around them.
