Educare San Antonio Local Partners
TAMUSA and local partners are excited for the development of the Educare San Antonio school at Texas A&M University – San Antonio. The university is building an approximately 25,000 square foot Infant, Toddler, Preschool, and After-School state-of-the-art facility. This facility would provide childcare services to over 200 children utilizing the best high-quality practices established through research and local partners.
Strong community partners are the building blocks of success for children and strong early childhood systems. Their involvement is crucial to eliminating educational and economic inequity and improving school readiness for young children and families across communities of need. Educare Schools are established when leaders demonstrate the willingness to invest in the lives of our youngest children and families.
By establishing Educare San Antonio on the South Side and harnessing the power of collaboration between 20 other community agencies and organizations, Educare San Antonio will advance economic development for the businesses and community on the south-side of San Antonio, as well as the greater City of San Antonio and Bexar County. In addition to providing training for childcare professionals, the establishment of a workforce development hub in the Educare San Antonio building provides a bridge that directly connects the full workforce community to workforce development opportunities on a university campus that is reflective of the local community’s heritage and culture.
