Sunshine Cottage
Sunshine Cottage served children with hearing impairments, many from Mexican American homes. Trinity's involvement through faculty like June Grant helped bridge bilingual and disability-focused education, contributing to national conversations about early childhood learning for marginalized populations.
Originally established to serve children who are deaf or hard of hearing, Sunshine Cottage became a landmark in language development and auditory education. While not bilingual in the traditional sense, its focus on communication and individualized learning connects to broader efforts around language access and inclusion in San Antonio’s educational landscape.
