Daycare near Sewickley (Pittsburgh: centers, garage, relocating to)

[PGH Bound]

My family is relocating to the Pittsburgh area soon (mid-to-late June). We recently went on an area-hunting trip and really like the Sewickley area, especially the historic parts near the downtown village.

I am going to be commuting to downtown Pittsburgh from there and would like to find quality daycare for my two daughters. One is almost 4 years old and the other is 7 months old.

Any recommendations for daycare/child care centers near Sewickley or near my driving route to the city (which will likely be along Route 65).

Thank you in advance.

Sorry, I meant to place a question mark at the end of one of my above sentences. Does any have any recommendations for daycare near Sewickley or along Route 65?

Thanks again.

This isn't exactly what you asked for, but we use a daycare Downtown we really like (Kindercare, in the USX building). Let me know if you want more information.

Thanks BrianTH. I would like to learn more about the center. What do you like best about it? Any caveats?

The staff and facilities are both excellent. Because it is a fairly big daycare, there are lots of other kids to play with, which my son likes. The Downtown location has been great for my wife (who works Downtown), since she has been able to drop when she wants (they often have special parent events) or a health issue comes up. Finally, they have free parking in the USX garage in reserved spots for 45 minutes at a time, which is convenient if you end up using a car to drop off and/or pick up.

My main caveat would be that it is a somewhat expensive daycare. Also, the outdoor play is somewhat limited: they do have a play area outside the building to which they take the kids, but it is not as convenient as a daycare with a playground right outside.

By the way, this particular KinderCare center used to be called "Magic Years" when we first started using it. It hasn't changed (as far as we can tell), so if you are looking for reviews and such you might check under that name too.

Thanks, this is excellent information.
