Today at DePaul Children’s Center, we’re celebrating Dr. Seuss Day and the joy of reading! 📚✨

Reading to young children isn’t just a sweet moment — it builds vocabulary, strengthens brain development, nurtures imagination, and lays the foundation for lifelong academic success. When children are read to consistently in their early years, they enter kindergarten more prepared, confident, curious, and ready to learn.

📖As Dr. Seuss reminds us:
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”🌍✈️

At our DePaul Early Childhood Center, we are committed to creating strong readers, confident learners, and bright futures — one story at a time. ❤️

Answering God’s call to bring health, healing, and hope to all starts with great people.

We’re seeking a Lead Certified Medical Assistant to mentor staff, support providers, and deliver exceptional care in our San Antonio clinic.

Experienced. Certified. Compassionate.
Is that you?

Their selflessness, resilience, and commitment to becoming the best versions of themselves inspire us every single day.
