We Know What Matters Most to Parents

When choosing a daycare in San Antonio, you’re looking for a place where your child is:

  • ✅ Safe and genuinely cared for—not just supervised
  • ✅ Learning through hands-on exploration—not screens
  • ✅ In small groups with consistent teachers—not overcrowded rooms
  • ✅ Growing more independent each day—not helpless
  • ✅ Speaking Spanish naturally—without extra fees

That’s exactly what we’ve built at Edquisitive. Here’s how:

Why Parents Choose Edquisitive as the Best Daycare in San Antonio

Since 2019, Edquisitive Montessori has been San Antonio’s trusted choice for families seeking more than just childcare—they want a true educational experience. Here’s what makes us different from traditional daycare centers:

🎓 Montessori Inspired Education

Unlike traditional daycares that focus primarily on supervision, we provide hands-on Montessori learning that builds independence, critical thinking, and confidence. Every classroom is carefully prepared with age-appropriate materials designed to foster natural curiosity.

🌎 Bilingual Spanish Immersion

Our Spanish Grove Academy location offers dual-language immersion at no extra cost—something most San Antonio daycares charge hundreds more for. Children naturally absorb Spanish through daily activities, songs, and conversations.

👨‍🍳 Freshly Prepared Meals Daily

Our trained chef prepares nutritious, USDA-compliant meals on-site every day. No pre-packaged foods or outsourced catering. We accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions with care.

📊 Better Teacher-to-Child Ratios

We maintain ratios better than Texas state requirements: 2:8 for infants (state allows 2:10), 2:16 for toddlers (state allows 2:22), and 2:24 for preschoolers (state allows 2:36). This means more individualized attention for your child.

💰 Affordable Options (CCS/CCA Accepted)

We proudly accept Child Care Services (CCS) and Child Care Aware (CCA) at all four locations, making quality Montessori education accessible to more San Antonio families.

🏅 Highest Accreditations

All Edquisitive campuses are Cognia Accredited and Texas Rising Star 4-Star rated—the highest quality standards in early childhood education. We don’t just meet requirements; we exceed them.

What You’ll See on Your Tour

When you visit an Edquisitive campus, you’ll immediately notice the difference. Here’s what to expect:

Orderly shelves with Montessori materials, not plastic clutter
👶 Children working independently at tables and floor mats
🗣️ Guides at child level, speaking calmly and directly
🏃 Indoor and outdoor spaces set up for movement and exploration
🌎 Spanish woven into daily routines and circle time
🍼 Spaces for infants that support safe movement and comfort

Montessori Daycare vs Traditional Daycare

Many parents ask us: “What’s the difference between Montessori daycare and regular daycare?” Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

Feature Edquisitive Montessori Typical Daycare
Daily Experience Child-led work with real materials, movement, and choice. Teacher-led group activities and general toys.
Classroom Feel Calm, structured, with clear order on shelves and floors. Busy, loud, and often crowded.
Learning Approach Montessori and inquiry-based edScription™ curriculum. Basic curriculum or activity sheets.
Life Skills Strong focus on independence, self-care, and respect. Limited time for individual skill practice.
Enrichment Spanish, yoga, music, and STEM built into tuition. Often extra fees for add-on classes.

See the difference for yourself. Tours are free and take about 30 minutes.

What San Antonio Parents Say About Edquisitive

“We enrolled our then 8 month old into Edquisitive Montessori and have been very happy with our decision. We toured multiple facilities in our area, and felt the most confident and at ease with Edquisitive. The care takers are very engaged with the children and develop great relationships with them.”

— Parent of Infant, Stone Oak Campus

“Our 2-year-old is so independent now—she goes potty on her own, helps clean up, and insists, ‘I do it myself.’ That came from her teachers at Edquisitive, not us!”

— Mom of 2-Year-Old, Fair Oaks Campus

“Edquisitive has continued to foster an incredible learning environment of personalized learning for our child catered to their individual learning style and needs.”

— Roderick Terrell, San Antonio

“They focus on the entire child—social growth, independence, and confidence. It’s so much more than just daycare.”

— Parent, Medical Center Campus
