Rooted in Language. Growing Through Love, Culture, and Learning.
For nearly 20 years, YPW has helped young children flourish through total Spanish immersion, whole-early learning, and joyful education. We’ve served thousands of Austin-area families with programs that feel like home, and teachers who feel like family.
20 Years of Trusted Care
Nurturing, Whole-Child Philosophy
Spanish Immersion with Heart
Serving the Austin Community
At YPW we believe that love of others, love of learning, and cultural curiosity should be at the center of every child’s life. That’s why we created a Spanish immersion school rooted in care, community, and creativity, a place where children gain fluency in a second language and also develop emotionally, socially, and academically through a whole-child approach.

In 2024, we renewed our purpose and recommitted to what matters most. Here’s what guides us
Put Children First
Create a Safe, Nurturing Environment
Partner with Families
Do the Right Thing
Foster Creativity and Fun
Support Our Teachers
Communicate Openly
Strive to Improve
What Families Say
“Since enrolling our first child at YPW, we have found the staff to be attentive, diligent, creative, and very hard working with the children. Our sons both continue to demonstrate a higher level of social skills and academic achievement relative to their peers.”
– A proud mom
What Families Say
“Teachers are informative and always care for the children, plenty of activities for the children but also they let the kids be kids.”
– Alice
What Families Say
“Every morning, my oldest son wakes up and says, ‘Is it a school day today, Mom?’ When I tell him it is he really gets excited and tells me about the things he plans to do with his friends and teachers.”
– Valeria
Who We Are
YPW Spanish Immersion School is a community where children from infancy through 5th grade grow through play, learning, and meaningful connection. Our curriculum goes beyond language instruction, including math, science, art, music, cooking, and more… all in Spanish, and using engaging, hands-on methods. Our teachers are native Spanish speakers with degrees, experience, and an unwavering love for helping children thrive.
Whether your child is 6 weeks old or in 5th grade, we meet them with warmth, purpose, and a clear plan for development. And for teens and adults, we offer workshops and tutoring that make learning Spanish feel natural, not stressful.
Giving Back to Austin
We believe strong schools build strong communities. That’s why we launched our Giving Back Series in 2013.
Past partners include:
CASA of Travis County
Advocating for children in the foster system
El Buen Samaritano
Providing healthcare, education, and food access
UNICEF
Protecting children worldwide for over 75 years
Our Fall Festival fundraisers raise both awareness and support, and give our students a model of compassion in action.
