The Circle C Child Development Center - Personalized Austin Preschool

A longtime business presence in the Austin, TX, community, Gary Bradley created a number of area residential developments, including the Circle C Ranch. This groundbreaking suburban development encompasses schools, recreational facilities, and extensive hiking and biking opportunities in protected parkland. Gary Bradley also contributed to a first-of-its-kind child development center that benefits community members throughout Austin, TX. 

A private, nonprofit organization established in 1994 as part of the neighborhood’s master plan, the Circle C Child Development Center provides preschool children with family-centered education designed to meet age-specific needs. Children start in the full-time program as young as eight weeks old, with part-time offerings beginning at age two and continuing through age five.

Fully accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the Center emphasizes personalized attention and educational continuity. It has one of the lowest teacher turnover rates among preschool centers nationwide. The school values core principles such as building confidence, respect, and character in children and teaching them to develop a sense of wonder.

Riverbend’s Remembrance Gardens

 


Independent developer Gary Bradley has been active in his Austin, TX, community since the late 1970s, having donated the most parkland of any developer in central Texas history. One of Gary Bradley’s major accomplishments was his land donation to the pastor Dr. Gerald Mann, who built Riverbend Church on the property. From there, the two created an innovative cremation cemetery, Remembrance Gardens at Riverbend, which provides an innovative alternative to classical cemeteries by inviting a form of remembrance that does not require a traditional grave.

Located in Austin, TX, Remembrance Gardens is a gorgeous piece of land in and around the Riverbend Canyon. Its Memorial Pavilion is a sheltered area with traditional niches for urns and memorial walls designed for remembrance and quiet meditation. The Terrace Garden is a collection of pathways winding through the canyon, past waterfalls and quiet pools. The Rose Garden, overlooking the waterfalls, provides bench niches, memorial pavers, and ground interments for ashes.

The gardens provide an innovative alternative to classical cemeteries by inviting a form of remembrance that does not require a traditional grave.
