Weekday Ministries Child Care Center
Our child care center has been a ministry of this congregation since 1982, providing early childhood learning in an atmosphere of faith, hope and love.
Conveniently located on West Liberty Avenue, on the Mt. Lebanon/Dormont line, we are close to the Dormont T station and major bus routes. Our hours are Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
All daycare centers in Pennsylvania must be licensed, but not all operate with the same integrity and standards that we do. We serve our mission, not the almighty dollar. All of our teachers must first and foremost be people with a genuine calling to work with children. Their aptitude and attitude towards children in the early childhood setting is our number one, foundational requirement. Education and training come next.
Our group sizes make sense. Our classrooms are spacious, clean, functional and updated regularly.
Curriculum includes standards set by nationally recognized bodies. Lessons are developed and shared with parents each day. A thread of Biblical truth is woven throughout our activities.
Infants can be as young as nine weeks to start. We highly recommend visiting and making a reservation early in the pregnancy since we fill to capacity. A deposit will hold your spot.
There are eight infants with up to four teachers; fifteen younger toddlers (1-year-olds) in two separate classrooms with five teachers each; 15(approx.) older toddlers (2-year-olds) with up to four teachers; 25 (approx.) preschoolers (3 to 5-year-olds) with up to five teachers.
Our pre-kindergarten (Pre-K) program includes extra classes for 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds and 5-year-olds from September through May. It is expected that each child will develop competence in all the skills necessary to seamlessly flow into Mt. Lebanon and Keystone Oaks school districts. Space is limited in these classes. Registration begins each January.
