The facility primarily services young children and families in the San Antonio and Boerne areas. A spokesperson for ExcellED Montessori said the school community was "united in grief" and working to support those affected.
"We are working closely with local authorities as they investigate this incident and will continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in our care as well as our staff and families," the spokesperson said. "Counseling and support services are being made available to anyone in need. We ask for your thoughts and prayers for everyone affected and respectfully request privacy for the families as they navigate this devastating time."
