Child Development Services

In 1998, Good Samaritan Community Services was the first childcare center in San Antonio serving low-income children to be accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

Currently, it is still the only early childhood center in San Antonio’s near west side that has maintained the standards needed to be accredited. The GSCS Child Development Program provides developmental support and educational opportunities for 178 infants, toddlers, and pre-school children annually.

The hallmarks of the Child Development Program are small class sizes, low child to staff ratios, highly trained teachers, an age-appropriate curriculum, and continuous communication with parents. For many local parents, having access to high quality, affordable childcare is crucial for them to be able to finish high school or maintain employment. GSCS also offers additional support services to these families including financial literacy and parenting skills classes.
