Are you taking classes at Northwest Vista College this FALL 2026? We’ve got you covered!

In partnership with the YMCA of San Antonio, FREE childcare services is provided at the NVC main campus so you can focus on your education while we take care of the rest!

Types of Childcare Services:

-Recurring Services: Child/ren will be dropped off on the same days each week due to class schedules. Children will be provided a meal.

-Drop-In services: Child/ren will be dropped off at least 3 times a month so you can access campus resources, services, activities/events, facilities, etc. Meals provided upon availability.

Priority Consideration: requests from NVC students enrolled in at least one NVC on-campus evening/Saturday class will be taken into consideration first for recurring and drop- in services.  Additional NVC parenting students enrolled in NVC classes (includes online classes) may request drop-in childcare services to access on-campus support and services.
