ARSENAL FAMILY & CHILDRENS CENTER

Arsenal Family and Children's Center is such a neighborhood gem—we're so pleased we found it. Our son, who had never been in daycare or cared for by anyone but us, started their preschool last year and has settled in amazingly. Recently he stated that his classmates and teachers were like "a little family together," which I think says it all. The children enjoy a wide variety of enriching activities and are taught valuable social skills in advance of attending kindergarten. I can't recommend this school enough.

Ms Christin, Ms Howell and Mario are amazing. I don’t know how could I express my appreciation for all their hard work and support our kids and family. Thank you so much for everything you have done, it is truely helpful. Thanks for your professionalism and expertise. Highly recommended !

As an international student family adjusting to life in the U.S. for two years, one of our biggest concerns was helping our child—who was not yet comfortable with English—settle into daycare, make friends, and feel as active and confident as she had been back in Korea. Since we were new to the U.S. and unfamiliar with Pittsburgh, the early adjustment was not easy for our family. However, thanks to the warm care, guidance, and support from Arsenal Family & Children’s Center, our older daughter was able to complete her year there happily and safely. In terms of language and culture, she started with almost no English, but now she can express herself much more confidently. We truly believe this is thanks to the thoughtful and caring support of Director Melissa, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Nesbitt. We are very grateful for everything they have done for our child and our family. Highly recommended!

I participated in the intake process and communicated my availability for the scheduled visit through email and text. Despite that, my case was terminated, and my responses were not reflected in the documentation. This decision has impacted my ability to maintain contact with my child. I would have appreciated clearer communication and a more thorough review of the information provided before services were ended.

Arsenal is such a gem. All of the teachers are so patient, knowledgeable, and so great with communication. They were especially patient when helping my son acclimate to the new environment the first few weeks when we first started. We love that they encourage and emphasize social-emotional development during play throughout their whole time at here. Also working in the early childhood field, I have nothing but praises for Arsenal!
