Austin Children’s Montessori, founded in 2004, is one of Austin’s only locally and family owned Montessori schools. Located on over an acre of dense oak tree farm land, ACM is an urban oasis in the South Austin area for students, families, and our whole Montessori community.
Austin Children’s Montessori was founded by Thiranjani Wijenayake (a certified Association Montessori International Director). The school is now under the directorship of her daughter, Kulani Hummel. Our Montessori community consists of faculty and families that have been with our school for upwards of 15 years.

Our Mission Statement
- We strive to provide an environment which is child-centered with an emphasis on the social, academic, emotional, and physical growth of each child.
- We strive to help each child in developing a positive self-image and encouraging social and personal relationships.
- We strive to provide an environment in which young children have the opportunity to develop curiosity and to experience life and develop a positive motivation to learn.
- We strive to accept each child at their personal level of development and to assist that child in utilizing his/her human potential according to the needs of that child.
- We strive to assist the child in understanding the golden rule that explains the idea of “sow and reap” as a way in which life expresses itself.
