“I was so apprehensive about putting my daughter in daycare initiallywhen she turned four months. Krista & the other staff here were all so welcoming, Nothing short of amazing when it came to her. I can tell they truly love & care for my baby. UnfortunatelyMy daughter stayed here until she was 11 months old, I had to move her due to the Daycare not opening up at 6:30 am. Upon moving her to another daycare and her staying for only about Five months I realize that there is NO place like Kindercare. She would sit and be isolated at her previous daycare And believe me she is not a quiet child. I immediately contacted the director to see if they had a room in the toddler room & after a short wait they made some room for my girl. And although I had to switch shifts in order for her to come back. This daycare & ALL of the workers make it so worth it. The staff is amazing, Patient, Nurturing, & also very understanding to my daughter‘s very unique diet. You’ve Hired amazing people to care for our children. Thank you”
“The Goddard School of Pittsburgh is such a welcoming environment. From the time you walk in the door you automatically feel like family. Sending my son to the Goddard School was such a great decision! He is learning so much and is so excited to tell me what he learned at school each day.”
“I started sending my first born to Small Worlds back in Feb of 2022 at 15 months old and continued to use them up until the summer of 2025 (we are Starting school in late August or else we would continue). To say I am grateful to the staff would be an understatement. As an anxious new mom, I was so scared having to leave my little guy for the first time. That said, I soon found out that everyone at this school would take the time to make my child feel safe and comfortable. My baby has learned so much, become a social butterfly, and had somewhere safe to stay so his parents could continue to financially support our family by going to work. Childcare is NOT an easy job and the people doing this important work are not compensated by our society as much as they should be, frankly. Despite this, the people working at this school really put in their all to make sure the kids are taken care of, enriched, engaged, happy and safe. Thank you Small Worlds Early Learning and Development Centers for being a part of the pivotal years in my baby’s life!”
“Hands down, this is the best daycare in the area! Everyone from the staff that welcomes you in to the teachers in the classroom is extremely caring, understanding and enthusiastic. Our daughter is not only learning so much here, but she has so much fun and genuinely looks forward to going everyday. We LOVE A Place To Grow!”
“Arsenal Family is truly a hidden gem of a preschool. The teachers and staff are attentive, kind, and patient. The class size was small, and there was no waitlist when we applied. They focus on building relationships and independence with the students, and seeing those skills in use is amazing!”
“We started sending our older daughter here when she was 12 weeks old, she is now almost 2 and she has truly thrived at this center. The staff is caring and nurturing, and consistent - the center is small but it allowed us to get to know each of her teachers very well and for our daughter to have consistency in the adults in her room each day. We've had the chance to get to know all of the staff members and can tell our daughter feels comfortable with all of them. We started our younger daughter here at the beginning of the year and are having the same experience. I definitely recommend checking out this center in your hunt for daycare!”
“This preschool offers the most exceptional care you could hope for your child. The environment is nurturing, and the teachers go above and beyond to support each child’s growth and development. My child not only received excellent education but also made beautiful, lasting friendships. The memories created here are truly special. Miss Liz and Miss Cara, in particular, have been remarkable in their approach—warm, patient, and deeply caring. They’ve made such a positive impact on my child’s experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the love and dedication they show every day.”

“We’ve had two children through this school over the last 6 years. The teachers and staff are so kind and you can tell they really care about the children. Would recommend to anyone looking for childcare in the area.”
“I do not have enough amazing things to say about this center. My daughter is almost 3 and this is her first time not with me all day long. She LOVES it here, never fusses about waking up early and goes to school with a smile. The teachers are great, the school is very clean. The communication is great. Pictures and what they did daily is sent right to my phone every single day so I can see what she’s up to! The curriculum is awesome and age appropriate. The directors Lisa and Lisha are great, her teacher Ms.Annalise is amazing and every single other teacher there always greets my daughter by name with a smile. I do not have enough amazing things to say!!!”
“Our son started in the infant room about a month ago. I can't rave enough about how smooth of a transition it has been thanks to the warm, welcoming staff and his lead teacher, Ms. Paula! Previously, he was home with me for ten months. Now, he lights up as we walk through the doors each morning and he locks his eyes on Ms. Paula! I can't explain how much that means to a working mom. From the amazing directors to every teacher - it is evident that every at Munchkin University is there to nuture the children and their families.”

“This place is beyond amazing! I called to inquire in regard to some childcare for my 3 year old and possibly having after school care for my 6 year old and the woman who answered the phone was beyond helpful! It is never easy to send your child someplace new but talking with her and about everything they have to offer made me feel so much better! I highly recommend them! Thank you!!!”
“This is the most professional childcare facility that I've seen in years. You won't be disappointed. You'll feel at ease and you'll know your child is in a good hands.”
“Our son attended Little Rubies for almost 3 years and I couldn't speak more highly of the care they provide. They have kept his mind engaged, communicate with us regularly, and made transitions easy for him. They have a very clean facility and a variety of activities throughout the day for the kids to participate in. Nothing but good things to say about Little Rubies!”
“I didn’t take my child there, but I had to do some business with them, which gave me the opportunity to interact with the staff and teachers. They were all wonderful people and true professionals.”
“Beth Shalom Early Learning Center (ELC) is absolutely amazing. Our older daughter attended beginning when she was 3 months old and graduated from pre-K. She went into kindergarten prepared, with a love of learning and playing, and amazing lifelong friends. Our younger daughter is now attending ELC. She is so happy, learning so much, and developing amazing friendships. We are incredibly grateful for ELC and would highly recommend the school to anyone looking for daycare. We can't say enough good things about the teachers, administration, and community of families at ELC.”
“The staff and location is amazing. My grandson Wesley loves going everyday. He has grown so much in knowledge. The Penn Hills location is clean and very safe. And the staff greets you everyday with a smile. If you’re looking for a safe and fun learning daycare. KinderCare is it!”
“We could not be more impressed with this facility! They did a fantastic job helping our 2 year old daughter adjust to a daycare setting for the first time. And helped this nervous momma! In addition to normal toddler needs, our daughter also has some medical needs that require medication to be administered with every meal. The teachers and administrators have been nothing short of amazing and understanding. They ask questions to learn more about her condition and always ensure that she gets her medications on time. We also love the app which sends us updates every time a medication is delivered as well as additional updates/pictures throughout the day. Our daughter is thriving there and often doesn’t want to leave when we pick her up! Would not hesitate to recommend this facility!”
“My daughter spent three months in there .It was such unforgettable experience we all had . Great teachers and center’s principal was very friendly and welcoming.”
“Best school of all time. I went there the teachers were great, the schoolwork was interesting, and they appreciated every thing we had to offer. My only problem is the food and the uniforms. Great place. Would recommend to anyone with or without a child haha.Edit: the kids who say they don’t like guys school will HATE every other school. Probably your best option in Pennsylvania, let alone Pittsburgh.”
“For a month now, my two children have been going to this wonderful kindergarten, for them this is the first place after home, this is our first experience. I’ll be honest, after the negativity I read here, I was very worried about trusting my children, and in vain! My both children, who are 1 year old and 3 years old, cannot wait until the morning to go back to kindergarten. They say the names of their teachers all day at home, and when they meet, they run to hug them as if they were their own. This is the main indicator for me that they are treated there very warmly and kindly. Thanks to the director Christine, teachers Meghan, Heather, Christina, Vanessa for their relationship with our children and their care and attention, the most important thing is quality care.”
“We are absolutely delighted by this wonderful place, which offers a clean and nurturing environment for our child. The staff and teachers are incredibly patient and attentive, ensuring that each child feels valued in the classroom. Every season, they host a variety of engaging activities after school, and our child eagerly participates, always bursting with joy and excitement. It fills our hearts with happiness to witness our child learn and flourish within this loving community, and we look forward to many more delightful moments ahead!”
