All Austin Cooperative Nursery School
Preschool in Austin, TX 78756
All Austin Cooperative Nursery School is a part-time preschool program created and supported by a community of parents teachers and children working together to provide high-quality experiential learning for our children in a secular environment.
Our non-profit school is a true cooperative run by a board made up of parents the director the teachers and members of the Austin community. Each family is responsible for a support job and parents take turns assisting the teacher in the classroom. While our children are learning by playing together we parents are learning too by sharing information and by following the supportive guidance of our teachers.
A group of progressive parents established the All Austin Cooperative in 1953 as one of the first interracial and intercultural schools in the state. We are proud to continue this tradition drawing together families from many different backgrounds and from all over the city of Austin.

We believe that young children learn best through play. Our classrooms are well-equipped and creatively arranged to promote active exploration and learning in an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. It is our goal to support each childs physical intellectual emotional and social growth. Therefore children are encouraged to take risks be creative problem-solvers be independent and learn to appreciate the ideas and perspectives of others. At the Co-op children learn in a hands-on way with lots of opportunity for making choices and getting messy. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia educational approach our teachers help children to investigate their individual and common interests and offer children creative ways of expressing what they know and imagine. Through discussion and displays of childrens thoughts and work the multiple stories of growth and learning that take place in each classroom are communicated to the full community.
