A Note Before You Scroll
We share tuition openly on this page.
Read the next two minutes carefully. The infant, toddler, Pre-K 3, and Pre-K 4 years is where language, social-emotional foundations, and habits of learning are built. The differences between preschools aren’t always visible in a list of monthly rates. We want you to compare INIC the way it deserves to be compared: by what your child gains in a day, a year, and a lifetime.
What’s the same at most preschools and daycares
A safe room. A schedule. Snacks. Care.
What’s different at INIC
An immersion-first model with credentialed bilingual teachers, two world languages woven into every day, a Texas Rising Star 4-Star South Austin campus, live classroom cameras, and operating hours that work for real working families.
The INIC Difference
Six things you won’t find at most preschools — combined under one roof
These aren’t add-ons. They’re the foundation of how we run every classroom, every day.01
100% Spanish Immersion, every day
Not “Spanish class.” Not bilingual storytime. Our teachers speak only Spanish from drop-off to pick-up. This is how children become genuinely bilingual. Research-backed: bilingual children show higher math, reading, emotional, and analytical skills.02
Evidence-based, high-quality curriculum
Children learn through purposeful play, early literacy and numeracy, art, music, and movement – all in calm, predictable routines. Age-appropriate for infants, toddlers, Pre-K 3, and Pre-K 4. Not a worksheet program. Not unstructured daycare. A full curriculum built on what research shows actually works in early childhood. Purposeful play · Early literacy · Numeracy · Art · Music03
Twice-weekly Mandarin enrichment
Two days a week, children also hear and engage with Mandarin. They enhance listening skills and cultural curiosity without overwhelming the day. Two languages, naturally absorbed. This combination is exceptionally rare in U.S. early childhood programs. Spanish + Mandarin in one preschool – almost unheard of04
Texas Rising Star 4-Star Certified (South Austin)
The highest tier of the State of Texas voluntary quality system – awarded only to programs that exceed minimum licensing across teacher qualifications, teacher-child interactions, leadership, and indoor/outdoor learning environments. Our Round Rock campus uses the same standards and is currently in the certification process. Recognized by the Texas Workforce Commission05
Credentialed teachers: trained far beyond what Texas requires
Every INIC teacher is background-checked, CPR/First Aid certified, and receives a minimum of 72 hours of paid professional development each year. That’s more than 300% of the Texas state requirement. Training helps teachers stay up-to-date with modern techniques for nurturing your little scholar. 72+ hrs/year training · 300%+ above TX requirement06
Live classroom cameras & daily communication
Stay connected throughout the day with WatchMeGrow live classroom cameras and Procare for daily updates – photos, milestones, naps, meals, and direct messages to your child’s teacher. You’ll never wonder how the day went. Live video · Real-time updates · Direct messagingEverything Included in Tuition
What’s in the monthly rate — no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons
One tuition. Everything below is part of it.For Working Families
Extended hours included: early drop-off & after-school care for family flexibility
No “extended day” line item. No early drop-off surcharge. Built for parents who commute, work shifts, or just need real flexibility on either end of the day. Included in your tuition:- Austin campus: 7:15am – 6:00 pm
- Round Rock campus: 7:00am – 6:00pm

Two snacks per day included in tuition
Beginning August 2026, students will receive two daily snacks at no additional cost. One less thing to pack, one more way we care for your child’s day.
Extended hours for working parents
One of the longest preschool and daycare days in Austin & Round Rock
Many preschools’ standard operating hours are 8:30 am to 3:30 pm – they charge extra for early drop off and extra for afterschool. That doesn’t work for parents who commute, work shifts, or need a little flexibility. INIC is built for working families with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
Up to 3.5 hours
of additional daily care – built into your tuition. No drop-off fee, no afterschool fee.
Additional fees may apply only for care outside standard included hours or for late pick-up after closing. Round Rock has an optional 6:30 start time.

A Different Way to Look at Tuition
You’re not paying for daycare. You’re investing in the foundation of a lifetime.
Children spend roughly 2,000 hours per year at preschool – more waking time than they spend with most family members. Those hours either compound into language fluency, confident curiosity, and durable habits of learning… or they pass by quietly. Below is what an INIC investment looks like. We’re proud to share it openly.Our Promise

Before You Decide
Questions families ask before they enroll
If your question isn’t here, ask us on your tour – we’ll answer straight.
My child doesn’t speak Spanish at home. Will they fall behind?
No. The majority of our students arrive with little or no Spanish exposure. Immersion is how children acquire language naturally – the same way they learned their first language. English doesn’t suffer; the research consistently shows bilingual children outperform monolingual peers on reading and analytical assessments.
My child has never been in daycare. Will they adjust?
Yes, and we built a whole protocol to make it easier for kids and parents alike. INIC’s Wonderful Welcome Experience includes a meet-the-teacher event before day one, a personalized welcome song from classmates, and a “First Day” headband. Parents can see their child in the classroom on our WatchMeGrow cameras and receive daily Procare updates so you know how their day went. Most new-to-care children settle into the routine within 1–2 weeks.
We’re at another preschool or daycare right now. How will the transition go? I worry change will be hard on my child.
Change is real, and we treat it that way. Most kids who join us mid-year are settled into the rhythm within 1–2 weeks. That’s not because they “tough it out,” but because INIC’s Wonderful Welcome protocol is built specifically for transition. Before day one, your child meets the teachers and classmates, sets up a cubby with a family photo, and walks through the daily routine. On day one, classmates greet them with a hand-decorated card, a welcome song, and a personalized headband. You get daily Procare updates and access to WatchMeGrow live classroom cameras so you can see the adjustment happening in real time.
What surprises many transferring parents: kids tend to settle faster here than their previous school. INIC routines are more predictable and action-packed. The social-emotional curriculum gives kids actual language and tools for big feelings. Bring us your worry on your tour – we’ll walk through the specific plan for your child’s age and personality.
What’s the teacher-to-child ratio in each classroom?
Ratios meet or exceed Texas licensing requirements and Texas Rising Star 4-Star standards. Infants and young toddlers have the lowest ratios; Pre-K classrooms are larger but always staffed with credentialed teachers and extra support during the busiest times of day. We’ll share the exact ratio for your child’s age group on your tour.
What’s your sickness policy?
We follow Texas Department of Health and Human Services guidelines for childcare. Children with fever (99°F+), active vomiting, diarrhea, untreated contagious conditions, or who simply aren’t well enough to participate, are asked to stay home. We’ll talk through specifics during your tour and provide a written policy at enrollment.
Do you have a waitlist? How does your Guarantee Start Date work?
With our Guaranteed Start Date Policy, once a spot is confirmed, your first day is locked in writing. When your preferred age group or start date is full, we add you to the waitlist and keep you updated as openings come up at South Austin or Round Rock.
Can I tour outside business hours?
Most tours happen during the school day so you can see classrooms in action – that’s the most useful 30 minutes of your enrollment decision. We also offer Zoom tours. Book the time that works for your family below. If those days don’t work for you, contact us and we’ll find a time that works for your schedule.
Tell me about your infant, toddler, pre-k3, and pre-k4 advantages?
Infants and toddlers have a full curriculum at INIC. Those early years build upon each other as students graduate to pre-k3 and then pre-k4. Learn more here:
What are the benefits of having preschool uniforms?
Preschool uniforms make mornings (and cleaning) easier for parents and help children start the day feeling ready, included, and connected to their school community. They support routine, reduce distractions, and keep the focus where it belongs – on learning, play, and making friends.
