Respite Care Community Programs

Respite Care of San Antonio cares for children with disabilities and complex medical conditions, such as congenital birth defects (e.g., spina bifida, Down syndrome, and heart defects), neonatal abstinence syndrome, fetal drug syndrome, abusive head trauma, cerebral palsy, and autism.

Children with complex medical conditions often require daily medical treatments that may disqualify them from enrolling in traditional childcare programs. Without a childcare option, children fall behind developmentally, and parents risk falling into financial distress while operating as full-time caregivers.

RCSA’s Developmental Childcare Program helps meet San Antonio’s need for early childhood education for children with disabilities and complex medical conditions from six weeks to six years of age.
