Child Care Business Opportunity: Profile on San Antonio

From its rich cultural heritage to its vibrant city life, San Antonio is a thriving community and the ideal location for a child care business opportunity. At Discovery Point, we’ve identified San Antonio as one of our premier expansion markets. Let’s look at what makes San Antonio such a great fit for a Discovery Point child care business opportunity.

Getting to Know San Antonio

San Antonio is the second-largest city in Texas and the seventh-largest in the nation. The San Antonio metro area is made up of Bexar, Bandera, Kendall, Comal, Guadalupe, Wilson, Atascosa, and Medina Counties. Since the 1990s, San Antonio has been listed among the fastest-growing of the top 10 US Cities. The Greater San Antonio area currently has a population of 2.4 million.

According to the State of Texas Children 2016, Bexar County, where San Antonio proper is situated, had an increase in the child population of nearly 120,000 between 1990 and 2010. While outlying Counties, Kendall and Guadalupe, had the fastest growth in child population with 111% and 97%, respectively. This shows the increased need for top-quality child care throughout the greater San Antonio area.

Other key demographics reinforce the need for viable childcare solutions including:

• Median age of 33.2 years
• Average household size of 2.91
• Average family size of 3.66
• 6.4% unemployment rate

Low unemployment, families, and a young population all show that San Antonio has room for expansion of child care business opportunities.
