Educare San Antonio Initiative
Initative
Texas A&M San Antonio, along with partners like Pre-K 4 SA, Early Matters, and AVANCE is leading the creation of Educare San Antonio, a cutting-edge school for early childhood development serving children from six weeks to kindergarten age.
Enhancing Early Childhood Education Overview
Educare San Antonio will be the first Educare School in Texas, joining a national network of 25 birth-through-age 5 schools across the country. Together, they elevate the quality of early childhood education in America and stand as hubs for innovation, inspiration and transformation in their local communities transforming the early childhood ecosystem.
This project will strengthen the early childcare ecosystem in Bexar County as follows:
• Offer affordable high-quality childcare to families living or working in Bexar County
• Support teachers at childcare centers, city and statewide, as they enhance the quality of services offered to an estimated 2,000 children
• Directly and indirectly strengthen the early childhood care workforce
This future school will serve approximately 200 children from birth to 6 years of age at any one time, providing wrap-around services, training professionals, conducting collaborative research that will transform the early childcare ecosystem, and providing support to other childcare centers in the city and Bexar county.
An early fulfillment of improving the childhood ecosystem in our community took place in January of 2024 when the Young Jaguars After School Program at TAMUSA became fully operational.
