Where Children Learn & Grow While Having Fun
At Nurturing Hearts we help children develop the social and academic skills they need to transition into Kindergarten.

A licensed San Antonio center since 2009
Nurturing Hearts Early Learning Center believes in providing each family with a nurturing, loving environment and a safe, supportive haven.

Convenient hours that fit real schedules
In addition to affordable child care, we also maintain convenient hours to fit into your busy schedule. The center is open Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We offer both full and part time child care options.
We also offer an after school program to students attending Murnin Elementary. You must contact the school or the NISD Transportation Department to ensure your child qualifies for bus services to our location.

A secure building, and eyes on every classroom
Nurturing Hearts utilizes a keyless entry system to provide access to your child's classroom. The system ensures that only authorized staff and family members have access to the building.
In addition, cameras are installed in every classroom, allowing parents to view their children throughout the day. Families can easily connect to the password protected feed from anywhere via the web, or mobile device.

A curriculum we write ourselves
Rather than licensing an off-the-shelf program, we develop our own curriculum in house. It is written and refined by the teachers who actually use it, so it fits the children in our classrooms.
- Reading
- Writing
- Arts
- Language & communication
- Math
- Physical development
- Science
- Social studies
- Technology
Every area is taught at a level suited to the age of the classroom, and children graduate from our Pre-K2 room well prepared for Kindergarten.
All of our lead teachers have at least 2 years of teaching experience.
