Pre-K 4 SA’s South Education Center will move farther south from its City Base location to an 8-acre lot off of South WW White Road in August, and for the first time in its history, Pre-K 4 SA will offer care for toddlers and infants under the age of 3.

Texas A&M University-San Antonio broke ground this week on the first Educare school in the state, occupying land on the South Side campus. The facility, scheduled to open by summer 2026, is expected to help over 200 children and their families, according to a university news release.

H-E-B and the San Antonio Food Bank are set to distribute 2,000 food packs and produce bags to students and families in Pre-K 4 SA on Friday.

On this week’s episode of “bigcitysmalltown,” podcast host Bob Rivard spoke with three leaders and advocates of early childhood resources: Peter J. Holt, CEO of HOLTCAT and early education philanthropist, Pre-K 4 SA CEO Sarah Baray and Mark Larson, the executive director of Early Matters, a nonprofit that makes policy recommendations on early education.

Pre-K 4 SA hosted a job fair on Saturday to fill various classroom positions for the 2025-2026 school year.

CEO Dr. Sarah Baray discusses the upcoming enrollment season and the new South Education Center in this segment on KABB.

The study’s “findings reaffirm the persistent issues we’ve encountered in child care — ranging from affordability and staff shortages to limited infant care,” Sarah Baray, CEO of Pre-K 4 SA, said in a statement.

Sponsored by Ready to Work, the city’s Economic Development and Human Services departments and Pre-K 4 SA, the study was commissioned to clarify the issue for officials who play a role in ensuring San Antonians have accessible pathways to well-paying jobs.

“We found that there’s not enough child care for the number of young children we have in San Antonio,” said Pre-K 4 SA CEO Sarah Baray.
