Discovery School of San Antonio

Discovery School has provided a unique preschool experience for children in San Antonio and surrounding areas for over three decades! Originally an outreach program of the First Unitarian Church, Discovery School of San Antonio, Inc. It has prospered and grown to an enrollment of over 175 children aged two through seven years, and is in the forefront of developmentally appropriate preschool environments. In 1989, Discovery School was accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), which recognizes excellence in curriculum, interactions among staff, children, and parents, physical environment, staffing, and health and safety. Of the over 1,000 preschool programs in San Antonio, less than 5% are accredited. Discovery School has continued to maintain this highest level of performance. Discovery School of San Antonio, Inc. is unique in several ways. It is a private, nonprofit, tax-exempt, multi-denominational preschool governed by a volunteer Parent Board of Directors. To supplement tuition and fees, Discovery School maximizes Parent participation and fundraising. Discovery School offers the highest quality preschool education, employs early childhood specialists, and strives to keep its tuition affordable to a wide community base, as well as offering a scholarship program to assist families in need. At Discovery School, the health and well-being of our staff, students, and families is paramount. We also recognize the social/emotional and cognitive benefits of in-person learning. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Discovery School formed a Medical Advisory Committee to monitor the current health metrics, the risks to our School and community, and guide our health and safety procedures including daily screening, sanitation and masking protocols. We believe that when families and faculty work in partnership to adhere to our health and safety protocols, Discovery School will continue to be a magical place to Learn As We Play And Play As We Learn. Thanks to the diligence of our teachers, staff, and families we have had zero cases of COVID-19 spread to date.
