School-Age Program

The Seton Center School-Age Program provides both before- and after-school services and activities for children who range in age from entrance to first grade through twelve years, in a relaxed atmosphere that encourages friendship and self-esteem.

Our staff of resourceful, caring adults seeks to provide youngsters of both mixed-age and same-age groups with a balance of recreational and educational activities and the "quiet time" necessary to do their homework and simply relax. That same type of balance is also fostered through recognizing respect for and the value of each person, while promoting a positive self-confidence and sense of independence. And we are always ready to meet with parents or guardians to discuss the needs of any child.

During the school year, we provide pre-school care beginning at 7:00AM, and after school care until 6:00PM, Monday through Friday. During the Summer, we are open weekdays from 7:00AM to 6:00PM. Children are provided breakfast and an afternoon snack that conform with Child-Care Food Program guidelines. Any other nourishment is provided by parents/guardians. During the school year, transportation is provided for children attending schools within the local area.

The number of supporting professionals on our staff is always appropriate, bettering the necessary 1/12 ratio for this age group. We believe we offer an outstanding School-Age Program at an affordable cost in a safe, secure environment.

The Child-Care Center is conveniently located on Pioneer Avenue, at the Brookline site of Seton Center, on one of the major access routes from Pittsburgh's South Hills to the city. If you are interested, we would like to meet with you to show you our facility and to discuss enrolling your child or children. Please contact us to arrange an appointment, or simply fill out the Pre-Registration Form and we will contact you to set up a visit.
