I truly consider this school a hidden gem. EHAT delivers 100% on what parents of young children are looking for—a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment.
What stands out most is how the staff genuinely care for the children as if they were their own. It’s something you can see and feel—something that can’t be faked. The bond between the teachers and students feels like family, and the trust and love the children show in return says it all.
Academically, the school offers full Spanish immersion, paired with nearly individualized attention in the classroom. The children are always engaged in fun, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate activities.
EHAT is truly a treasure in the South Austin / Dripping Springs area.

I can’t say enough good things about this daycare. When my daughter first started, she had torticollis, and the staff went above and beyond to support her. Their individually tailored physical exercise routines have greatly improved her coordination and physical strength.
What really stands out is how every teacher treats the children like part of their own family. It’s not just about supervision — they truly know and care for each child as a unique individual. My daughter always comes home happy, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving, capable hands.
If you’re looking for a place where your child will grow, feel supported, and be genuinely loved, this is it.

EHAT Immersion Preschool has been a fantastic choice for our family. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly care about each child. My child has learned so much through the language immersion program. The environment is clean, safe, and welcoming, with lots of creative activities and outdoor play. Communication with staff is excellent—we always feel informed and supported. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing, high-quality preschool experience and all while your child becomes fluent in Spanish!

We absolutely love EHAT! Both of my daughters have attended, and from the very beginning, they’ve been welcomed with open arms and genuine love. Every morning, they walk into the building beaming—greeted like rock stars with the warmest smiles and energy.
EHAT truly feels like a family. The staff support one another and create a joyful, nurturing environment where learning happens naturally and with so much heart.
My oldest (now 6) attended EHAT for three years before moving on to public kindergarten. She’s confident, kind, and understands both Spanish and English. But what I treasure most is the confidence this school gave her. EHAT was all she had ever known, and yet her transition to elementary school was seamless. I credit that entirely to the loving preparation and intentional support she received here.
My younger daughter is now 2 and started attending around 4 months old. She, too, is already understanding and beginning to speak both English and Spanish. Every day, she talks excitedly about her teachers and friends, and she can’t wait to go to school.
EHAT makes the most of every moment—even in the infant room, learning and development are thoughtfully supported. Both of my girls are thriving in their gross and fine motor skills. You’d never guess that one of them was a late walker—thanks to the daily support, she’s now confidently climbing, jumping, and even doing front rolls!
Their focus on literacy, art and creativity has also been a highlight. My daughters are always proud to bring home their work and share what they’ve learned.
EHAT has truly been a gift to our family. The love, intention, and care this team pours into the kids is something special. They’re not just preparing children for school—they’re preparing them to be confident, capable, and kind humans.
We are so grateful for Monica and the entire EHAT staff. You have our deepest appreciation and support!

Monica and her entire team have been incredibly supportive to our family. Trusting her with our children has been a life-changing experience, and she has helped us achieve goals that we were struggling to accomplish on our own. It seems that peer pressure can be a positive force! Thank you, Monica, for all that you do for our children and our community!

My daughter has been attending EHAT for two years now, and we’ve never once regretted our decision to enroll her. In fact, we’re so impressed that our son is already on the waitlist and will be starting in a year!
This school has truly been everything we hoped for and more when it comes to caring for our daughter. The staff is incredibly kind, nurturing, and fun. Every single day, I know my child is loved and well cared for. Beyond that, the community of families at EHAT has been amazing—many of the families who’ve been part of the school for years have become some of our closest lifelong friends.
Monica, the director, is deeply passionate about the school and the education of our children. EHAT is so much more than just a daycare—it’s a place where children thrive, learn, and grow. Monica’s love for the kids is evident in everything she does, and she works tirelessly to ensure they receive the best possible care. She’s always available when I need to speak with her, and I trust her completely to do what’s right for the children and their families. The teachers and staff are equally dedicated, showing their love and support day in and day out.
Thanks to EHAT, my daughter is now bilingual and speaks Spanish at home with us. She’s bright, kind, and full of personality, and my husband and I credit much of her growth to the incredible environment at EHAT. We feel so fortunate and grateful to be part of this wonderful community.

EHAT has been a wonderful place for our daughter over the past three years. The staff is warm, friendly, and truly cares about her growth and happiness. They offer a great mix of fun, educational activities that keep her engaged and learning. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, and communication with parents is excellent—I always know how her day went. She is a Spanish-speaking child with primarily English-speaking parents and she’s always impressing people with how well she communicates in Spanish. We’re so grateful to have found a place where she feels happy, safe, and excited to go every day.

EHAT has been so great for our family. We moved here quickly last August, and I was nervous to start my toddler at a new school. We did a tour with Ms. Monica, and within minutes, we knew we wanted our daughter to go there. It’s clear Ms. Monica has a heart for teaching little ones, and her love and joy surround the school. My daughter never smiled when I picked her up from her school in Dallas. She would run to me and cry or just be silent. I foolishly thought maybe that was normal (she is my first) and that she was just overwhelmed from her day. She still runs to me, but after a day at EHAT, she is happy and smiling. She chats nonstop on our drive home, telling me all about her day. She loves her teachers, Ms. Julia and Mr. Diego. For about a month straight, she made me walk with her to find Ms. Julia at the end of everyday so she could say goodbye. Unless Julia was with another student, she’d drop what she was doing and come give my daughter a big hug and tell her she’d see her tomorrow. We love EHAT and all that it has done for our family!

We adore EHAT! Each child adjusts to a new environment or care setting in their own way, and Monica and her staff made sure our son was loved on from day 1. I’ve experienced a handful of different care settings and can say without a doubt that you will see more joy in your children and love in their care while at EHAT than anywhere else!
From the moment we inquired about programs at EHAT, Monica (the owner) was very supportive of our son and met him where he was at developmentally when he joined her preschool. The educational experience is wonderful, providing children a great foundation and immersive Spanish experience of learning and an amazing opportunity for robust fine and gross motor skill development. My son who attends EHAT has truly flourished at EHAT.
All of the children are known uniquely and loved like a family at EHAT. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a preschool in the south Austin and Dripping Springs area.

We absolutely love EHAT and feel SO lucky to have found them! We started our baby boy at 6 months old and he immediately fell in love with his teacher Miss Yaneth. I was so nervous as a first time mom going back to work and handing my baby over for the first time. I soon realized I had nothing to worry about, the entire team at EHAT is literally like family! They love these kids as if they were their own family and my son has absolutely THRIVED in their care.
He is now almost 2 years old, loves going to school and continues to advance in all ways . . . Perhaps too advanced! 😅 I see my baby becoming a little man 💙
I cannot say enough positive things about EHAT, just superb!!! THANK YOU EHAT family!

Our family is absolutely thrilled with EHAT, the Spanish immersion preschool owned and operated by Monica. From the moment our daughter began attending at just five months old, we have witnessed remarkable growth and development in her. Now, as a two-year-old, she effortlessly understands both English and Spanish, despite English being the only language spoken at home.
The love and care the director and teachers give to the children are truly heartwarming. It's evident in the way each child reciprocates this affection, creating a nurturing and supportive environment. The dedication to teaching gross and fine motor skills is exceptional, and my daughter has advanced far beyond her age in these areas. The constant engagement in art projects since she started has fueled her creativity and imagination.
EHAT fosters a family-oriented atmosphere rich in culture, where education is always the top priority. Their commitment extends beyond preschoolers; they take the time to get to know my school-aged son and shower him with the same love and attention during school holidays or after school when I’m out of town.
We love EHAT and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a preschool where their child can learn Spanish and develop the essential educational, gross, and fine motor skills needed for elementary school. This preschool truly prepares children for a bright future, and we couldn't be happier with the experience our daughter has had here.

Our three children have all gone through EHAT and it’s been a joy to watch them grow with our EHAT family. Not only do they learn Spanish, they are in a loving and caring environment and have all made incredible friendships with other kids there. Monica, Roy, Ricky, Diego and all of the teachers up there are wonderful people who truly care about each child. We are so grateful for this preschool!

My family and I have loved the enriching experience and warm welcome into the EHAT family.
As a bilingual mom, I struggled with my kids speaking Spanish. Even though they have heard the language since they were infants, they seldom spoke Spanish to each other or were interested in watching shows in Spanish. As soon as I found EHAT, we completely immersed ourselves into the language, the community and the welcoming Mexican culture that truly felt like a second home. I taught there for just shy of 2 years and my girls still attend the school. They have both cultivated genuine relationships with friends who they get to engage and share the gift of another language. It's truly unique to have this school in our community. I highly recommend EHAT.

EHAT, feels like dropping my foster son off with his huge school family. Not only is every child cherished there but every child cherishes everyone there. There is so much love! My foster son is THRIVING and loves to go to escuela in the morning. I get a great update every afternoon of the topics he's learning about and the fine and gross motor activities he participated in. They keep it fun and are very accommodating and supportive. So grateful to have found this wonderful place!
