Where Young Minds began, renovated in 2025. Authentic AMS member Montessori with a natural outdoor classroom and a warm, family-run feel.
Young Minds Montessori’s Leander campus is at 2400 S Bagdad Rd, Leander, TX 78641 (512-738-1748). It is the school’s original campus, renovated in 2025 with new interiors and a natural outdoor classroom. It is an American Montessori Society member school serving children through kindergarten, with a Primary program for ages 3 to 6. Families can book a personal tour of about 30 minutes.
Leander is where Young Minds began. In summer 2025 we gave it new floors, fresh paint, updated plumbing and a new flex space.
Outside, plastic play equipment gave way to a natural outdoor classroom with non-toxic natural surfaces, a wooden playscape and a garden.
