Our Mission
At the heart of our mission is the nurturing of honorable humans. We believe that to achieve this, we must prioritize the well-being of each child, placing their health and happiness first. When a child is healthy and content, the process of learning occurs organically and effortlessly, leading to a deeper understanding of the world around them.
​
To create a conducive environment for growth, we remain committed to using only non-toxic cleaners, ensuring that harmful chemicals are kept at bay. Our beautiful south Austin Campus provides an ideal setting for ample unstructured outdoor play, enabling children to connect with nature, as well as fostering physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
​
In our approach, we acknowledge the significance of allowing children to experience their emotions fully. Rather than always trying to solve their problems for them, we offer a supportive space where they can navigate their feelings, developing essential tools for problem-solving independently.
​
Respect is a fundamental principle that guides our interactions. We roleplay during circle time lead by example, treating the children with the same respect and kindness that we expect from them. This mutual respect creates an atmosphere of trust and understanding.
We strongly advocate for freedom and agency within clearly defined boundaries. Our child-led education approach encourages children to make choices and direct their own learning journey without coercion or force, empowering them to pursue their interests and passions. Regarding friendships, we believe in allowing natural connections among children.
​
We emphasize responsibility and the importance of caring for their belongings, tidying up after themselves, and participating in communal tasks like cleaning and dishwashing. By doing so, they learn the value of contributing to a community and taking ownership of their actions.
​
Our ultimate aspiration is to foster connected and noble individuals, equipped with self-assurance, respect for others, and a deep appreciation for the world in which they live. Through our holistic and mindful approach, we strive to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of the children we have the privilege of guiding.

Luna Montessori Journey
Formerly known as "Little Hive Montessori," a name inspired by its location, which was previously occupied by "The Hive Coffee Shop," our school went through significant changes and remarkable growth in just a short amount of time. This transformation provided us with a golden opportunity to rejuvenate our school's identity and return to the original name that has always held a special place in our hearts, "Luna Montessori" after my daughter Luna. Our school continues to embody the values and traditions that make it unique, nurturing each child's potential and fostering a loving community. We're excited about where our journey has brought us and remain dedicated to providing the best education for both our current and future students. 🌙✨
