In July 2024, Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) and Pre-K 4 SA partnered to address childcare shortages for military families, with JBSA offering only 990 slots. Pre-K 4 SA, a voter-approved early childhood program, aims to improve education and the workforce in San Antonio.

It also aims to streamline information sharing for easier access to on- and off-base childcare. Key efforts include training childcare professionals and connecting families with community resources.
