Creating positive memories that will last a lifetime.


​In our My Wonder Kids program, we specialize in nurturing children aged 0-12, focusing on the formative 0-5 years. A House In Austin offers a supportive space for parents transitioning to leaving their child in our care. Our studio, a blend of four rooms, encourages imaginative play, fostering the development of motor skills, literacy, dual language proficiency, and emotional regulation. Children enjoy healthy snacks and benefit from weekly programs. Older kids (K-5th) engage in our afterschool reading buddies and tutoring support. Join us in creating enduring childhood memories. If you'd like to join us please call/text: 773-896-3582.
