San Antonio Metropolitan Southside Child Care Development Center

For over 25 years The Salvation Army has offered care for toddlers and school aged children in the Southside of San Antonio. Children enrolled at the day care are 24 months to 12 years of age.

The day care literacy curriculum is based from "The Creative Curriculum for Preschool" which is designed to help the children learn and practice newly acquired literacy, math, science, social studies, arts, and technology skills, which preschool children can and should learn.

Our Christian Curriculum is based from "Toddlers and Twos- Faith Play" and "Group Hands on Bible Curriculum" for Preschool and after school children. Every week the children have a Bible-based story and a word of faith. We work together with the parent to teach the children cooperation, self-worth, responsibility, trust, and to provide Christian activities as part of their education.

Transportation is available from the following elementary schools to the Southside Child Development Center’s after school program: Athens Elementary, Carrillo Elementary, and Price Elementary.

Our center is monitored for safety and we work together to educate our children and meet their needs. Nutritious meals and snacks are served and the center is Child Care Delivery System (CCDS) approved.

We are located at:
1034 Fenfield Ave.
San Antonio, TX 78211

Monday thru Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
