A daycare brought to you by the owners of Green Village.

“Our first daycare founded out of our home was a great success. We had no idea that bringing values based childcare to an intimate community would be so greatly sought after. Our biggest problem is accommodating everyone who asks us for care. This daycare was created in the same spirit as our first, with a small group of children and a close knit community.

We’re located conveniently at 10415 Old Manchaca Lane at the location of The Hive Coffeeshop after it moved. We chose this name to honor the history of the space and the opportunity to use it for our children.

Rubria Abascal – Director & Co-Founder

Formally trained in music education from Texas Tech University, Rubria has been educating children professionally since 2009. Unable to find a Daycare that matched her values, in 2017 she formed Green Monkey Daycare which became an instant success.

Inspired by educators like Magda Gerber and Dr. Emmi Pikler, Rubria went on for advanced training to incorporate those paradigms of education into her program.

Something interesting about Rubria: She is still a musician and performs twice a year here in Austin.

Adrian Abascal – Co-Founder and Paperwork Monkey

Adrian is a med-school graduate from Texas Health and Science University and holds a license from the Texas Medical Board as an Acupuncture and Botanical medicine specialist. He still practices medicine in private practice.

Adrian joined up with Rubria in 2018 to help build the program and integrate paradigms of modern medical science and health into the program’s philosophy.

Something interesting about Adrian: He wrote a book about drug free injury recovery for parents, coaches, and hobbyists, called “The Rapid Recovery Resource” (Available on Amazon)

Creating a Green Village Daycare

Rubria and Adrian quickly realized that their approach to care can make a huge difference to children’s (and adult’s) lives, but having the reach of a few handfuls of families was not enough to change the world.

Broadening their vision, they created Green Village Daycare, as a village of individually owned daycare operations who share the same core values, and can benefit from marketing under the same umbrella and sharing the costs for business services without being just another big-box McDaycare.

Future daycare directors can get trained in their program and open up locations with step-by-step assistance, at a fraction of the price. Contact them to apply.
