Does anyone have any suggestions for a good preschool either in the Edgewood area or on the east side of Pittsburgh? My son isn't old enough yet, but if I have to get on waiting lists, I want to do it now. Thanks.
Hi M., we are in Edgewood too. I've heard some good things about the Edgewood daycare center in the Presbyterian church building on Swissvale Ave., and I think they also have a preschool program. We are on their waiting list. I've also heard a lot of praise for the Shady Lane preschool in Point Breeze.
My daughter attends the Rodef Shalom preschool - called the Berkman Family Center. You don't have to be Jewish to attend. The teachers and director are lovely. They offer a class for 18 month olds, 2 yrs, 3 yrs, and 4/5 yrs. It's a small, close community of kids and parents. Everyone is nice and welcoming. We were at another pre-school previously that was big and loud and cliquey. I appreciate the Rodef relaxed atmosphere.
The director's name is Mimsie Leyton. She is a doll!
Any more questions, ____@____.com A.
My son attends Arsenal Family and Children's Center in the Friendship area, East Pittsburgh. It is a very nice facility and was started by Dr Benjamin Spock many years ago. It is also very inexpensive. They have part-time preschool classes for 3-5 yr olds.
I second the Edgewood Daycare in the Presbyterian Church. I have known several children who go there. It seems very good.
