The Pillars Christian Learning Centers
At The Pillars Christian Learning Centers, we are a dedicated team of educators, administrators, and support staff committed to providing exceptional, faith-based early childhood education.
Founded in 2009 by Geren and Melissa Anderson, The Pillars has grown from a single location in San Antonio to multiple campuses across Texas. Our mission is to deliver a high-quality early education program that helps children reach key developmental, emotional, and academic milestones- while building strong character and a lasting foundation of Christian faith.
More than just a preschool, The Pillars is a family. We strive to make a positive, lifelong impact on the children and communities we serve.

Programs emphasize social-emotional development, dual-language exposure, sensory exploration, physical education, and critical thinking. All Early Care and Education schools are NAC accredited.
We are passionate about helping every child thrive in a happy, engaging, and supportive environment- laying the foundation for lifelong learning and confidence.
