Nurturing Growth, Naturally
Welcome to Mama Melli Childcare Center
At Mama Melli Childcare Center, we believe in a holistic approach to early childhood education right here in Austin, Texas. Our mission is to provide a nurturing and enriching environment where your child can thrive, learn, and connect with the natural world. We're dedicated to fostering curious minds and healthy bodies through a unique, outdoor-focused program.
Our Holistic Childcare Services
Our services are designed to offer a complete and enriching experience for every child. We prioritize a deep connection with nature, allowing children to spend most of their day outdoors, exploring and learning in an unconfined setting. This approach supports not just their physical health but also their cognitive and emotional development.
Our Holistic Childcare Services
At our core, we believe in supporting children through every early milestone. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to provide age-appropriate activities that stimulate curiosity and encourage a love for learning. We offer a safe and enriching space for toddlers, and preschoolers to explore and thrive
Meet Our Animal Friends
A unique aspect of our center is the presence of friendly farm animals! Our children have the opportunity to interact with chickens, goats, and bunnies, learning about animal care, responsibility, and empathy. These gentle interactions provide invaluable lessons and create unforgettable memories, making every day an adventure.

What our customers are saying
an extension of our family
Mama Melli has become an extension of our family and our daughter talks about her, as well as the other teachers and her new friends, all the time. When asked who she wanted to invite to her birthday party this year, her first response - "Mama Melli!"
-Kristen M
beyond grateful
We are beyond grateful for all the strong, confident foundations Melli and her amazing caregivers have inspired in our children. Our littles are stewards of nature, make healthy food choices for their own bodies, know how to diplomatically interact with their peers, love yoga and music, all thanks to this one-of-a-kind enchanted farm environment.
-Lindsay
genuinely invested
Our son is safe and is LOVED here. Each day ends with a hug, kiss and “I love you!” from Melli and the other teachers. You can really tell that they are genuinely invested in his trust and wellbeing and I feel confident in leaving him under their care.
