What families ask us

Brothers and sisters of children already here come first, then hospital staff on any shift, then neighbors. Within each group, places go in the order families joined the list, and Sridhar confirms each place by phone.

We are open Monday to Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and closed on weekends. We are not open overnight.

From 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., teachers are at every room door for pickups and drop-offs, so families coming off one shift and going on to the next both get a proper handoff.

Yes. We are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, and the board on this site shows how many children each teacher cares for in every room.

Call us. Your child stays with a teacher they know until you arrive, and a lead teacher stays until the last child goes home at 8:00 p.m.

A change of clothes, anything your child sleeps with and, for infants, labeled bottles. We serve breakfast, lunch and snacks, and we ask about allergies privately once you enroll.

Infants sleep on their backs, in their own cribs, with nothing else in the crib. Older children rest on cots after lunch, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Ask at the tour. Sridhar goes through the kinds of help families use and what to bring, and he tells you plainly what applies to your family.

It depends on your child's room and the shift you choose. Our how tuition works page explains what sets it, how a place is held and how families pay, and we go through it with you by phone or at a tour.

Yes. Tours run any weekday, and the open house in August has an evening window for families coming off a shift.
