Our mission is to provide quality child care and after school programs to the Eastside Promise neighborhood and beyond.

La Mision Child Care has been a fixture of the South Hackberry neighborhood since 1979. With the advent of the Eastside Promise Neighborhood, we have been striving to provide quality care to its residents as well as others around the San Antonio and Bexar County Areas.

Centrally located in SAISD, We are just minutes away from Southtown, the historic missions, the McCreless Shopping Center, Brooks City Base, the AT&T Center, the Alamodome, and Downtown San Antonio. Bus service is offered to students of Elementary Schools in the Area.

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

This program is for students at Harlandale High School.
