This Austin preschool teaches kids empathy and compassion. Author: Yvonne Nava Updated: 5:27 PM CST January 22, 2021 AUSTIN, Texas — It's not unusual for preschoolers to be a bit shy at dropoff. But once Charlotte steps foot in the classroom, "she is one of the funniest, sassiest little girls I've ever met," said Luvy Wilson. Wilson knows Charlotte, a student, well. Wilson is her lead teacher at the Rise School of Austin off Manor road. "It's a preschool that serves students with developmental delays and students that are typically developing. They work and learn alongside each other and we do that because we have a low student-to-teacher ratio," said the head of school Anne Warren.
