Building Bright Futures:
What Sets Us Apart
Outdoor Learning
Research consistently shows that children thrive when given opportunities for outdoor learning. At Marbach, we prioritize this by incorporating outdoor exploration into our daily schedule. Our expansive outdoor learning space provides children with endless opportunities to engage their imagination and creativity as they interact with their surroundings. Through activities that encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and social engagement with peers, children develop critical life skills in a natural and stimulating environment. Outdoor time is a highlight of our day, and we’re confident your child will love it too!
Family Connections
Our relationships with families are very important. We host a twice-weekly food pantry, weekend market days, family field trips, and family engagement activities for you, our staff, and our children to share.
Our church offers weekly services from bible studies to prayer and special events for all ages. Our pastors and elders are available for biblical and life-skill coaching. Please feel free to contact our offices for more information.
Staff Development
Our educators and administration are dedicated to attending the latest trainings and conferences to best serve the children and families in our care. Through strong partnerships with esteemed organizations in San Antonio, such as TEACH, Texas School Ready, Alamo Workforce, TXAEYC and Pre-K 4 SA, we provide our teachers with the best professional learning opportunities. These experiences equip us with the tools, knowledge, and strategies needed to excel in the classroom. Our educational team embodies the spirit of lifelong learning, continuously enhancing their skills and expertise in early childhood education to deliver the highest quality care and instruction.
Program Benefits
To enhance our Pre-K curriculum, we have partnered with Pre-K 4 SA and Bright Scholars Public Schools to offer public school-quality education combined with the benefits of a smaller, more personalized learning experience in our family-friendly child development center. One of the greatest benefits of this service is the inclusion of before and after-school care, holidays, and school breaks, all at no extra cost.
