Heintz Preschool of Congregation Agudas Achim

Heintz Preschool is an inclusive school that takes pride in the nurturing of young minds through experienced, passionate, hands-on teaching and daily unique learning opportunities for infants through five year olds.

To schedule an in-person tour, or for more information, please contact Preschool Director, Stacy Kboudi Dori at (210) 479-2689.

In the Classrooms

Structured school days are designed to build sound foundations by meeting developmental, social, and academic needs of each child. HPS teachers are experienced and student/teacher ratios in the classrooms are kept at a minimum, which allows for hands-on, one-on-one experiences with students, and maximizes opportunities to create creative curiosity.

Daily Dynamic Enrichments

Children are active and enriched both physically and mentally through classes every day. The enrichments include:

Music
Yoga
Spanish
Hebrew
Drama
And more!
