Learning in Nature
Blessed Sacrament Academy Child Development Center
Thanks to generous funding from United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County, young children enrolled at the Child Development Center at Blessed Sacrament Academy in San Antonio play, learn and thrive in nature.
Our outdoor learning spaces capitalize on best national practices in early childhood education. Infants, toddlers and preschoolers explore, play and learn in safe green spaces that include a United Way-funded Children’s Sensory Learning Garden, wind-chimes, bird feeders and fountains.

From Seed to WATERMELON . . .
How many children have the opportunity to learn first hand where their food comes from? Our little ones experience this as they plant, nurture, grow and harvest fruits and vegetables . . . carrots, radishes, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, okra, watermelon, blackberries . . . just to name a few!
Thank you United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County for making our Garden and outdoor learning spaces possible. We are grateful for this amazing, beautiful and unique space where children and families - our city’s future - play, learn & thrive in nature.
