Our Story
Founded in 1975 by a dedicated family, Open Door Preschools began with a vision to provide quality early childhood education. Starting with just nine children, the organization has grown to serve thousands, adapting to the evolving needs of the Austin community. With a focus on educational equity and inclusivity, Open Door Preschools creates a nurturing environment for children from diverse backgrounds and abilities.
Why Donate?
Donations are vital for Open Door Preschools, as tuition only covers 73% of the annual costs to educate children. The organization relies on grants and donations to bridge the funding gap, allowing them to maintain affordable tuition while providing a living wage to staff. Contributions directly support teacher bonuses, classroom resources, and community programs, making a significant difference in the lives of children and families.
