Gem of the Forest Kindergarten

Gem of the Forest is a Waldorf-inspired Forest kindergarten nestled on eight acres of wild and beautiful South Austin land. Here, children are invited to explore, imagine, and grow in harmony with nature’s rhythms.

We believe childhood is a sacred time—a time for wonder, hands-on learning, meaningful play, and connection to the living world. Our days flow gently through outdoor exploration, artistic work, storytelling, and seasonal celebration, all guided by the nurturing hands and hearts of our experienced teachers.

At Gem of the Forest, we cherish the whole child — head, heart, and hands — and honor the unfolding of each child’s spirit, carried by the warmth of community and the magic of the forest.
