Admissions

We are located in cozy South Austin near Manchaca & Slaughter.

Our class size is kept small with a current maximum of 6 children per class and one teacher. The class size will expand to 12 children in June of 2024, but the 6-to-1 ratio will remain the same.

We accept enrollment for children between the ages of 2 and 4 years old, with September 1st as our cut-off date.

Pío Pío provides snacks with a rotating monthly menu of seasonal, fresh, and varied foods, while parents are responsible for providing a daily packed lunch for their child.

Your child does not need to be fully potty-trained upon admission. We are able to support your little one in their independent toileting journey.

Yes, our program allows for a daily 2-hr nap time.

Our school year runs from September to May. As Austin ISD parents, we follow the district calendar for school holidays and closures throughout the year. Summer School is scheduled for the month of August.

No, your child does not need to have any previous Spanish language experience. Our full immersion program is designed to be accessible to all of our students, regardless of their home language, while they are still in the early stages of language development. We make use of visual aids, games, actions, songs, books, and other playful experiences that naturally build Spanish vocabulary and communication skills, while making learning fun.

Yes. As experienced Early Childhood educators in both private and public schools, we will assure that your child graduates from Pío Pío with strong interpersonal communication, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. Our program has a strong focus on creative exploration and expression, while also developing an understanding of classroom routines, procedures, and behavioral expectations. Through an emergent curriculum, our children will develop a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy through relevant and engaging student-led projects and learning experiences of a trans-disciplinary nature.
