Located at 21130 Gathering Oak, San Antonio, TX 78258, our center is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM to meet the needs of busy families. Luv‑n‑Care proudly holds a four‑star accreditation from Texas Rising Star, a testament to our commitment to excellence. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice a focus on safety, cleanliness and a love for learning that sets us apart.

Our Mission: A Love for Learning

At Luv‑n‑Care, our mission is simple: to foster a genuine passion for learning while providing children with engaging experiences that spark creativity and curiosity. We believe every child deserves an environment where they can explore, grow and feel celebrated. Our teachers create joyful classrooms filled with music, laughter and hands‑on activities that support social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.

Nurturing Infant Care
For our youngest learners, the Infant Care program offers a gentle, structured start to life. Caregivers follow individualized schedules to mirror home routines and build trust. Soft music creates a calm atmosphere, and teachers use spoken language and simple sign language to encourage early communication. Guided tummy time and other play activities strengthen muscles and support milestones like crawling and walking. Our exclusive Bright Baby curriculum introduces story time, themed activity cards and playful exercises that develop language, sensory awareness and motor skills.

Toddler Program in San Antonio, Texas

Encouraging Toddler Independence
When your little one is ready to explore more actively, our Toddler Program encourages independence and discovery in a safe, stimulating environment. Each day begins with open‑ended center activities, allowing toddlers to choose what interests them — from blocks and sensory tables to pretend play and art areas. Structured Circle Time builds routine and introduces early concepts like letters, numbers, colors and days of the week. Throughout the day, children enjoy arts and crafts, music and movement, STEAM centers, story time and outdoor play, nurturing confidence, curiosity and social skills.

Preparing Preschoolers for Success
Our Pre‑School Program prepares young minds for kindergarten and beyond. Teachers design classrooms that inspire exploration and creativity, giving children opportunities to imagine, build, create and read. Circle Time helps preschoolers master foundational skills such as counting, alphabet recognition and understanding time and seasons. In our interactive STEAM lab, children experiment with science, technology, engineering, art and math through hands‑on projects that promote problem‑solving and critical thinking. Equally important are the social lessons — children learn to cooperate, share, empathize and communicate effectively, gaining the confidence they need for larger classroom settings.

Kinder Readiness for Kindergarten
As children approach school age, the Kinder Readiness Program ensures they are academically and socially prepared. The curriculum aligns with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards and covers ten domains, including language and communication, literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, fine arts, physical development and personal responsibility. Our classrooms feature themed learning centers where students can explore at their own pace, and field trips to local farms, museums and community landmarks connect classroom lessons to real‑world experiences. Each year concludes with a celebratory Kinder Readiness Graduation Ceremony that honors your child’s growth.

Before & After School Care

For families needing extended care, our Before & After School Care serves children from kindergarten through fifth grade. We provide transportation to and from select local schools, offer a nutritious snack upon arrival and support homework completion in a quiet study area. Children then choose from team‑building games, outdoor recreation, creative arts, STEM challenges and free play. Our secure classrooms and caring staff create a safe environment where students can unwind, socialize and continue learning beyond regular school hours.
