About Catherwood
At Catherwood, our number one priority is the children in our care. We make it our job to help families, either new or established in the community, receive quality childcare.
Established in 2000, we’re a 16 room, 7,200 square foot home located at 707 4th St. N.W., in Austin. The home was built in the late 1800s by Sam Catherwood, a prominent attorney and the first Chairman of the Board of the Hormel Foundation. Catherwood Home was designed to provide non-traditional childcare services and in 2016 regularly opened at 5am and closed as late as 11pm.
Transportation to and from all Austin Public schools is available to the children in Catherwood care.
Our staff-to-child ratios allows us to work closely with children in a small group setting.
Catherwood is 2 Star Parent Aware Rated.

“My daughter greatly enjoyed her time at Catherwood, when I would drop her off in the morning, she would wave goodbye with a smile, which made going to work easier! The morning staff is fantastic, and the entire team is awesome to work with. Thank you everyone at Catherwood and the PRC, keep up the great work, you are doing amazing things for the community!”
