Two kids, two schedules, one morning
For a lot of families, the hard part of the morning isn’t one child. It’s two. One is little and needs to be dropped off. The older one has a school bell to beat. And somebody still has to get to work.
Our 6 AM opening gives you some breathing room, so you can do the drop-offs in the order that works for your family instead of the order the clock forces on you. We close at 6 PM, and extended hours are available on request if your job keeps you later.
We also offer pick-up and drop-off. Every school and every schedule is different, so we won’t make blanket promises on this page. Call us with your child’s age, the name of their school, and the times you need covered, and we’ll tell you plainly whether we can make it work.
It helps to write your week down before you call: school start and end times, early dismissal days, and the days a relative can cover. Having it on paper makes the conversation quicker, and it lets us give you an honest yes or no instead of a maybe.
How to find us from Girard Avenue
If you know Girard Avenue, you already know the way. It’s the big east-west street through this part of the city, and our center sits south of it on N 18th Street, in ZIP code 19130.
Girard College’s campus is one of the easiest landmarks in the neighborhood to spot, so it’s a handy reference when you give directions to a relative who’s helping with pick-up. For a step-by-step route, tap Get Directions.
