Sunrise is a Montessori school with a happy, confident, and credentialed team that teaches life and academic skills. At Sunrise Montessori, your child will feel safe, nurtured, and immersed in learning. Our Teachers make sure your child gains an excellent education in a caring environment.

Our trained, credentialed Teachers are always enthused to see your child. They love guiding students in exploration and learning. At Sunrise Montessori, we believe a positive, nurturing environment is necessary for education to flourish.

Montessori is not a brand, but an educational method focused on self-directed exploration and learning through discovery. We believe that the Montessori method offers parents a better alternative to traditional preschool and daycare organizations. A Montessori education fulfills the engagement needs of children and prepares them for the future. Give your child the best preparation available for them to succeed and thrive in their education and in life.

  • NIDO LEVEL – Children 8 weeks to 9 months
  • BAMBINI LEVEL – Children 9 to 18 months
  • PRE-PRIMARY LEVEL – Children 18 months to 3 years old and wearing diapers
  • PRIMARY LEVEL – Children who are 2.8 to 6 years old and toilet trained

The atmosphere at Sunrise Montessori is like that of a family: we care for and help each other in a positive, reaffirming way. We encourage this characteristic because it extends the learning everywhere and with anyone. Education is not limited to a designated teacher or instructor, but primarily performed by the child themselves. This approach promotes learning to continue through the home, as well.

At Sunrise Montessori, we believe that treating our team well will reflect in your child’s success and create an educational environment that allows them to thrive. We have higher pay, lower turnover, higher staff morale, and more credentialed teachers because we care about our Team Members like family. This family mindset extends from us to our Teachers to you and your child. Our school is clean and tidy, allowing for creativity for our students to flourish. We would love for your child to experience growth and thrive in our Montessori environment.

Sunrise Montessori loosely follows the Round Rock ISD holiday schedule.

To determine if our school will be closed due to bad weather, check the Round Rock ISD website early the morning of the possible bad weather day. There will be a message at the top of their home page if the district is closing down.

Amy Esparza

Head of School

Amy Esparza was born and raised in Austin and has spent most of her life in the Central Texas area. She has earned her Associate Degree in Early Childhood Development and a Bachelor of Science in Human Resources with an emphasis in Organizational Leadership. Over the past 20+ years, she has had the privilege of teaching, leading, and serving in Director roles across multiple private childcare schools, including opening and operating three facilities. She believes every child deserves a nurturing environment where they feel loved, encouraged, and supported as they grow and develop at their own pace. Her goal is always to create a positive, safe, and inspiring space for both children and educators.

Her greatest accomplishments are her two grown sons, Isaac and Jacob. They are the inspiration behind her passion for early childhood education and the reason she entered this field in the early 2000s.

A message from Amy: “I am truly honored and excited to join Sunrise Montessori. Thank you for the trust you place in our school each day. Please know that your children will be loved, guided, encouraged, and cared for with the greatest respect and dedication while under my leadership.”

Sunrise Montessori provides a very welcoming environment. The teachers here are very kind and informative. They ensure to keep me updated with any developments in the classroom or developmental leaps with my child. I highly recommend other parents to bring their children.

My son absolutely loves Sunrise Montessori! He is always excited to go to school and genuinely loves his teachers. It means so much to know he is somewhere he feels happy, cared for, and supported. We’re so grateful for the wonderful teachers and the environment they’ve created for him!

Our son has been attending sunrise for 3 years now. We truly love the staff, Ms Emily has been the best teacher. In an honest review, we saw a decline in the school from Nov2025-July2026. After major swaps and changes in staffing, I can say we are entirely impressed by how large of a change there has been.

We absolutely love Sunrise! The teachers are experienced, highly skilled, and bring a variety of certifications and talents to the campus. We especially appreciate the teacher retention, which allows our son to build strong, consistent relationships with his teachers. The Montessori approach is thoughtfully incorporated through age-appropriate play and learning that encourages independence, curiosity, and development. Inside, there are plenty of centers where he learns something through new toys each week. The playgrounds and outdoor spaces are excellent and give the kids plenty of opportunities for active, exploratory play. They have multiple outdoor areas which is so amazing. My son has thrived in this environment and comes home talking about his day at school. The entire campus is clean, organized, and well maintained. You can truly see the care and intentionality that goes into creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for the children. We feel very fortunate to have our son here!
