Child Care

San Jacinto College is committed to seeing both you and your family thrive. Explore high-quality childcare options right on campus and learn about funding assistance available to students in need.

Early childhood education sets your child up for a lifetime of success. You can find two early childcare facilities conveniently located on San Jacinto College campuses.

The Laboratory School

Central Campus

The Lab School provides safe, healthy, and high-quality care for children of San Jac students, faculty and staff, and community members. Our Lab School serves children ages 6 weeks to 5 years and follows the academic calendar of San Jacinto College.

The Bezos Academy

North Campus

The Bezos Academy provides tuition-free Montessori-inspired preschool for low-income families in the College’s North Campus community. The Academy offers year-round programming, five days a week, for children ages 3-5 years old.

According to the National Education Association, children in early childhood education programs are:

Less likely to repeat a grade
More likely to graduate from high school
Higher earners in the workforce

Apply for a child care grant and let San Jac help you pay for your child’s care, so you can go to class.
