A Home Where Español Comes Alive

Tucked into the heart of East Austin, WAWAS Childcare is a warm, at-home daycare where Spanish isn't just a class — it's the language of every hug, song, and giggle throughout the day. With over 5 years of experience caring for little ones, we've created a cozy space that feels like family from the moment you walk in.

Our philosophy is inspired by the beloved Reggio Emilia approach — a beautiful way of seeing children as the curious, capable little explorers they truly are. Every child here is encouraged to wonder, question, and discover the world at their own pace. We weave in STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) through hands-on experiences that spark creativity, build problem-solving skills, and grow confident, joyful thinkers — all while they're falling in love with Spanish.
