Welcome to Holy Word Early Learning Center!

We are so happy you are here, visiting our website. There are a few things we would like to share with you about our school:

  • With a grass-roots start, we have been caring for and teaching little souls for over six years in Austin, Texas.

  • We provide a Christ-centered and grace-filled environment that is safe and nurturing for all of our students.

  • Our academic curriculum meets students where they are, as we provide personalized attention for each student.

  • We view any and every discipline situation as an opportunity to share and emphasize the love & forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

  • We have been gradually incorporating a rich variety of extra-curricular activities. Our staff is committed to providing regular parent/teacher communication.

We’d love to support your family with all of these things, too! Come visit our school by scheduling a tour. I would be happy to show you our campus and answer your questions about how a Christian education can benefit your child academically, physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
