Resource for finding preschools

Currently DD is attending preschool through her daycare.  DH is going to be a FT SAHD starting this summer, but we do want to get DD in a preschool class for the fall.

Thanks everyone!  The schools that you mentioned are all close enough to be convenient.  I knew Union Church had a daycare, I didn't know they had just a preschool as well.

And the rates for preschool vs. daycare/preschool are crazy ch

You know I am not sure if union is separate or not with preschool- the family I know that likes it so much uses it for daycare, but worth checking into.

Check with your school district. Our school district has pre-k starting at age 3 and it's free.

Is North Fayette around the Robinson area?  Cannot recall.  My daughter goes to The Learning Tree in Sewickley and there are several families from Moon who go there.  there is a 3 yr class (two days a week) and a 4 yr kindergarten prep clas

Oh, and The Learning Tree is in the basement of a church, but it is a non-denominational program.  Love the program, and I am on the Board, that was another selling point.  I love that parents make up the Board and have a say in what our kids ar
