When are you open?

We’re open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Please note that space after 4:00 PM is limited. Once those slots are filled, we are unable to offer additional late pick-up times until a current family’s schedule changes.

For children enrolled in the PreK Counts classroom, wrap-around care (outside the 8:00 AM–2:45 PM program hours) may be requested if space is available. Due to state licensing ratios and staff scheduling, only 10 wrap-around care openings are available each year. Wrap around care is paid privately by the family.

Lots of things! Each classroom has a curriculum that includes activities to keep your little ones very busy. Our activities are designed to align with the Pennsylvania State Standards so that we can ensure that your child's developmental milestones are being met. We are also flexible in how the activities are delivered because we understand that each child learns differently.

How much TV do children watch while at the center?

We believe in teachable moments and therefore we do not have televisions in the classrooms. With the exception of our multi-purpose room where it is utilized for gross motor activities.

What if someone other than me comes to pick up my child?

We have a policy and steps that are followed by all staff to ensure the safety of your child at all times while in our care. When  you enroll, you will determine who can pick up your child and even then we will require identification when they arrive. For those who you do not have on the list, they will be turned away at the door. if you have a situation where someone who is not on the list needs to come we have steps that can be taken. This will be discussed at orientation.
