When to look for Pittsburgh baby care 

Finding the right daycare center in Pittsburgh can be a time-consuming process, so it’s wise to begin as soon as you know you’re going to need daycare for your infant. Many of the best Pittsburgh daycare centers have lengthy waitlists that can make it tricky to coordinate the beginning of baby care with your return to work. Starting the process early gives you more time to narrow your choices and join waitlists.

As you look for Pittsburgh baby care options, you’ll want to consider whether a center close to home or close to work will be more convenient. Centers near work will let you stop in to visit your baby throughout your workday, while daycares close to home may offer more flexibility if you travel or work from home frequently.

Be sure to take a daycare tour of the facilities you’re most interested in and set up time to talk with center leadership.
