personalized care
for every child
Our small classes allow our two teachers to give each little learner the attention they need. Teachers tailor learning activities to suit the pace and needs of each child. Your child thrives with more attention and special care. The focus is on them as an individual, as well as the fun of a collaborative class.
a family-feel in a wholly
supportive environment
Every progressive learning step we take with your child is done with care. Not only do we provide them with personal attention, we also give unconditional love and affection that brings about an unshakeable sense of security. This sense of security allows your child to learn, laugh, grow, and flourish in our wholly supportive environment.
guiding your child through an
academic-rich curriculum
While at play, children are learning and creating their foundation for school. Counting, sorting, patterning, letter recognition, and phonetic awareness are built into the curriculum’s varied activities. Delving into each immersive learning experience means your child is already getting Kindergarten ready, absorbing pre-reading and language skills, as well as the basis for math and science.
how is play refining your child's talents and skills?
Now is the time to explore and to lovingly push thinking and development. By investigating puzzles, building blocks, sand, paint, and lots more colorful age-appropriate materials, children are invited to use their hands to grab, grasp, pour, and scoop. They are building the fine motor skills later used for writing. By building towers and exploring how things fit together, they learn planning, problem-solving, observation, and critical thinking. We focus on enhancing your child’s strengths while gently addressing any gaps in their development.
learning self-help skills and
building new confidence
With growing motor skills, children are encouraged to begin to care for and express themselves. They learn to wash, eat, put their toys away. They can let their caregivers know when their diaper needs changing, through gestures, baby signing, and simple words. Our patient and caring team give your child every opportunity to build their newfound independence and confidence.
outdoor classrooms inspire a
sense of space, wonder,
and increase self-esteem
Within the haven of our gardens, sensory play patio, and under the shade of our trees, children expand their minds, spread their limbs, and enjoy the freedom to move and play.
Interacting with Nature has innumerable benefits, which include:
- engaging all five senses
- kinesthetic sense
- sense of play
- sense of space
- sense of wonder
- quiet contemplation
- creative and dramatic play
- fine motor engagement
- balance and agility
- gross motor skills
- cognitive development
encouraging every child to show kindness to those around them
As children respond to the love and attention they receive, they emulate the Upstream Learning team’s philosophy of acting with patience and kindness. Your child will learn to play and share with their peers, model the behavior of their teachers, and the core values of our school.
Daily, Personalized Notes
To Keep you in the know
You’ll love the ease and convenience of our two-way parent communication app for updates and reminders. More so, each parent receives personalized notes every day written by their child’s teacher. Because of your child’s small class, you will connect with your child’s teacher, hear about their day’s accomplishments, stay informed as to how they are napping, and what they are eating. All this information is provided in the most personalized way.
Partnering with Parents
for Community Events
Parents partake in monthly activities hosted at the school. Much anticipated community events include Parents’ Night Out, Spirit Nights at local restaurants, and other family events as well. Grandparents day is heart-warming, as is Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day celebrations, to name a few.
On-Site Field Trips Give Your
Child a Glimpse of the World
Firefighters, police officers, hairdressers, dentists, vets, bankers, and many more professionals visit and introduce themselves to your child. Children to get to know key members of our community and to learn about different occupations. The Mad Hatters, a reading group from our local active adult community, come by for a live presentation, and Santa visits every year for photos.
Parent Reviews
“they all make you feel very at home.”
Upstream Learning is easily the best place in the Round Rock area to take your kids. The director’s name is Emily and you will not find a more qualified person running a preschool. Not only does she have her PhD, she has spent time as an educator at every level you can think of, from pre k to college level. The rest of the staff are also outstanding, they all make you feel very at home. Outside, you will find plenty of mature oak trees that provide a safe and shady recess area. Inside and out, Upstream Learning is awesome.

“Plenty of one-on-one
time and attention”
Love Upstream! It’s just the right size for us. It has this perfect combo of home care/family feel with structured learning and creative development that encourage my son’s curious nature. The teacher/ student ratio allows for plenty of one-on-one time and attention for our son. He has bonded with his wonderful, compassionate teachers and aids making his time away from us safe and enjoyable. Parents night out are a LIFESAVER!!!! Upstream is the best!
