Best Private Preschool in San Antonio
BEST Private preschool in san antonio
(6wks – 4yrs.)
Welcome to the Best Private Preschool in San Antonio, serving children since 1961. We are so excited that you are considering our preschool as the place for your child to grow and learn! Our prayer is that each child and family we are privileged to serve will experience exciting, fulfilling preschool years of growing and learning together through the One who first loved us, Jesus Christ.
At Castle Hills, our dedicated and experienced teachers provide a stimulating and creative educational environment for our children while surrounding them with their love and, most importantly, the love of the Lord. We commit ourselves to a deep concern for each child’s overall intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development. Our promise is to provide well-rounded preparation for their school years within our warm, Christian environment. We instill in our children a love for learning and sound Biblical values and virtues.
I have been in early education for 31 years. 22 of those years here at Castle Hills Preschool, and my belief is that preschool is a great way to begin building the foundation of a child’s future! I can’t imagine a better place for your children to spend their day learning and growing in their knowledge of Jesus.
We offer a variety of preschool classes and schedules to meet the needs of our families. If you are interested in learning more about us, I’d love to meet you! Please schedule a tour below or contact me directly by phone or email.

The Preschool and Daycare program has been serving the San Antonio community for more than 50 years. As part of The Christian School at Castle Hills, our mission is to teach children to know Christ and make Him known! We have a team of approximately 50 teachers and staff who love, instruct, and serve our preschool children, ages 6 weeks through 5 years (PreK-4).
We are accredited by the Association of Christian Schools, ensuring that our staff and programs meet the highest standards of excellence!
Each day, school begins in circle time with songs, prayer, pledges, and Bible verses. Love and laughter—along with a Christ-centered, warm and nurturing environment—are evident in each of our classrooms. One of our goals is to maintain a well-balanced curriculum for each of our classes that include hands-on learning and an academic foundation critical for school readiness. Taught from a Christian worldview, we use A Beka curriculum for letters, phonics, reading, numbers, and writing, while the Scripture Bites curriculum is used for additional math lessons, science activities, and sensory experiences. Toys, materials, computer software, and furnishings are continually updated to provide new challenges and spark new interest. Since kids need optimal outside play time, spacious playgrounds with shade trees allow children to maximize outdoor fun throughout the year.
The school also offers two gymnasiums for indoor fun when the weather prohibits outdoor activities.
Perhaps one of our greatest strengths as a premier, early childhood learning center is the longevity of many of our staff members. Several of our teachers have taught for more than a decade, many at Castle Hills. Some of our older students have literally “grown up” on the Castle Hills campus, and these students love to go back to hug or thank their preschool teachers for the Godly influence they had in their lives!
Our teachers pour their hearts and souls into their children and classrooms. Each class is organized with many centers for age-appropriate learning. Some of these centers include home living, drama, blocks, sensory learning, library, puzzles, problem-solving, art and creativity, and science and exploration. Children also attend music classes and put on special performances for their parents. “Bricks, Bots & Beakers”, “Tots Teams of Tomorrow” and “Webby Dance” classes are also offered once a week for an additional fee.
Finally, a sufficient number of adults per class allow our children to receive proper care and instruction each day.
Full-time care is offered Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. Half-day preschool hours are 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Families with more than one child receive monthly discounts if the children are enrolled full time. Furthermore, before and after school care for our Elementary and Intermediate School-aged children (up to the age of 12) is available, along with a fun-filled summer program for children ages 6 weeks—12 years.
We welcome you to our campus! Join us for an Open House Tour given by our Student Ambassadors! You will get a glimpse of what Castle Hills Preschool is all about and have the opportunity to meet some of our staff and faculty.
