Ceremony marking the beginning of construction for Educare San Antonio, the first school of its kind in Texas.
San Antonio proudly celebrates the groundbreaking of Educare San Antonio, the first Educare school in Texas, set on a 700-acre Texas A&M campus. This 26,000 square-foot facility aims to enhance early childhood education for children from birth to age five. Scheduled to open in summer 2026, it represents a collaborative effort among community stakeholders, providing a robust educational resource for families and students alike.
San Antonio is buzzing with excitement following a recent event that marks a significant milestone in early childhood education. On April 4, 2025, Texas A&M University-San Antonio (TAMSA) and the Educare Network came together for a groundbreaking ceremony that officially kicked off the construction of the first-ever Educare school in Texas.
The new school, aptly named Educare San Antonio, is set to take root on TAMSA’s expansive nearly 700-acre campus in South San Antonio. This state-of-the-art facility aims to provide quality early learning and care for children from birth to age five, all with the goal of enhancing early childhood education within Bexar County.
Spanning an impressive 26,000 square feet, Educare San Antonio will feature a variety of spaces designed to cater to the needs of infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners. The school’s layout includes a range of classrooms and areas specifically designated for fostering connections between families and schools—something crucial for a child’s development.
The design of the facility has been carefully crafted by experts in early childhood education, ensuring that it not only serves as a daycare but also as a teaching resource for students pursuing degrees in early childhood education and business. This initiative enriches the region’s educational system from birth all the way to college, and in turn, supports the local workforce as well.
The establishment of Educare San Antonio represents a remarkable collaborative effort among various sectors including philanthropic organizations, non-profits, business leaders, and the early education community. Funding for this ambitious project will come from multiple sources, such as the City of San Antonio, the Texas A&M University System, A&M-San Antonio, and generous contributions from philanthropic organizations.
Interestingly, Educare San Antonio isn’t just a standalone project; it will be the 26th school in the nationwide Educare Network, which operates across urban, suburban, rural, and tribal communities throughout the country. This network is known for its commitment to providing high-quality early childhood education.
Excitingly, construction for the new facility is set to begin shortly, with an opening anticipated in the summer of 2026. The architects have made sure to give the school an aesthetic that reflects the historic charm of San Antonio. Expect to see distinctive brickwork and the beautiful San Saba sandstone, offering a local touch that blends seamlessly with the environment.
Along with its attractive design, the school will boast fun architectural elements—including arches, canopies, and a covered communal plaza that connects classrooms to outdoor play areas. These spaces are designed not just for learning but also for play and interaction, ensuring that children have a wholesome early education experience.
As San Antonio celebrates this groundbreaking achievement, the community eagerly looks forward to the positive impact Educare San Antonio will have on families and children in the region. This initiative promises to enhance early childhood education and contribute to a strong educational foundation, setting children on a path for lifelong success!
