The YMCA had hoped to move child care operations from the Victoria Commons area but thus far has been unable to secure a new location.
The Y Early Learning Center will close in August as a result of a redevelopment and rezoning plan for the Victoria Commons area.
Officials with the YMCA, the San Antonio Housing Authority and District 1 Councilman Mario Bravo, in whose district the center is located, said they have kept the community apprised of the need to move since last fall. But families with children at the learning center only received the May 6 letter announcing the closure, according to Shannon Gowen, senior director of communications for the YMCA, because the center had hoped instead to announce a new location rather than a closure.
“The property values, the tax assessments, the appraisals, everything going up,” she said. “For the families who don’t have access to care that might need that help, with food and [child care], now they’re just like, ‘Well, what’s what’s going to happen to us?’”
