Kid’s Place Child Development and Treatment Center improves the social-emotional, physical, and intellectual development of children enrolled in its multi-age classes. Kid's Place is a "Three Star" approved Child Care Service (CCS) "Quality Care Provider".

For information about our Kid’s Place childcare program for children ages 14 months to 5 years, click here.

As part of our intake process, we assess not only the child’s level of developmental functioning but also the degree of stress in the family. This allows us to develop individualized plans of care.

We love being an intergenerational space! We engage local seniors to read with Kid’s Place students once a week. Intergenerational activities can improve children’s motor and cognitive skills, as well as social and emotional competencies like empathy, patience, and problem-solving.

Thanks to generous support from foundation partners and individual donors, we are able to provide tuition assistance for our students.

This program is designed to provide for basic needs for our “neighbors". Time Dollar uses a two-step approach in our work.

The first step is called “giving fish” through our “Los Vecinos” (neighbors) program where we provide food, eye glasses through Prevent Blindness Texas and service referrals.

The second step is "Basic Case Management" where we offer help filling out forms, reading letters, providing service referrals and any other type of assistance required based on the need.

Christmas gifts are provided through Elf Louise Penelope.

This program primarily serves residents of zip code 78207.

Children Matter is the best option for both biological parents and family members by offering consistent visitation (pending court orders and family plans of service).

Our services include:

Individualized Parent Coaching Each biological parent receives a Visitation Coach as a part of their onboarding. This coach does one on one parent coaching using our twelve-week curriculum called “The Active Parent.” In these twelve weeks, parents will learn skills such as:

• Character development
• Good communication
• Healthy structure
• Positive reinforcement
• Attachment/bonding
• Effective discipline management
• Family life skills

Supervised Family Visitation Children Matter offers our families a safe, comfortable, homelike setting where they can come and spend quality time together in a structured environment for both court-ordered and private services.

Before each visit, the parent receives parent coaching and immediately gets the opportunity to begin putting these skills to practice with their children in the visit that follows.

We work hard to inspire moments of healing, growth, and positivity during each visit as the family goes through the permanency process together.

Case Management We take care of all the details so our clients don’t have to. Our top-notch team members facilitate all communication and visitation scheduling with all parties.

We do hands-on work with:

• CPS caseworkers
• Social services
• CASA advocates
• Therapists
• Attorneys
• Foster caregivers

We also provide a detailed report of each visit for the progression of the case and for the safety of the children. 

To get started, email a copy of your official court order to us at [email protected]. A team member will be in touch with intake and scheduling information.

Our services are offered on a sliding scale fee based on your service needs. There is a $25 initial intake fee for both the custodial and non-custodial parties.

Here’s how Safe Place works:

Step One – A young person enters a Safe Place and asks for help.

Step Two – The site employee finds a comfortable place for the youth to wait while they call the licensed Safe Place agency. For the greater San Antonio area that is Roy Maas Youth Alternatives (RMYA).

Step Three – An RMYA staff member will talk with the youth to get more information and explain that an SAPD officer can escort them to the RMYA Bridge Emergency shelter.  If the child is agreeable, the RMYA staff will contact SAPD to transport the youth to the shelter. 

Step Four – Once at the Bridge, direct-care staff and counselors meet with the youth and provide support. Agency staff ensures the youth and their families receive the help and professional services they need.

This program is for youth under the age of 18 in need of immediate help and safety.

Safe Place® is a program of National Safe Place Network (NSPN).

Members of this committee minister to grieving families by helping them with funeral arrangements and to find some healing in the loss of a loved one.

Activities:

Lead a rosary at the funeral home, assist the family in finding lectors and gift bearers for the funeral Mass. For All Souls Day, the commitee organizes a memorial mass for all the families whose loved ones were buried from St. Ann during the year. In addition to this ministry, after the funeral, the commitee contacts a family member inviting them to host a rosary in memory of their loved one in their home (Valley of Tears).

The ministry continues by offering the family the opportunity to attend a monthly support group (St. Ann Support Group for the Bereaved). Once a year they hold a Holiday Workshop to help survivors through the holidays.

Anyone who feels the call to serve those who are having to deal with the loss of a loved one, are welcome to join.

Adults of all ages gather to fellowship around lunch, pray together, and play favorite games. All are welcome.

Located in CLC Grand Room.
