Sarah Heinz House Pre-K Programs Moving to Virtual-Only
Due to the rising local and national rates of COVID-19, Sarah Heinz House is moving to virtual-only instruction starting on Monday, November 30th. We will complete our final two weeks of Fall session for select programs over the week of the 30th and then December 7th. Following our winter break, we will resume virtual-only programming in January, carrying that format through MLK Day (January 18th). We hope to resume in-person programs on January 19th if conditions allow.
Classes will be conducted via Zoom. If your child is enrolled in Fall classes that are moving to virtual, you will receive email(s) with links to the courses and/or instructions regarding the pick-up of necessary materials, if applicable. If your contact information has changed or you are concerned we may not have the correct email address for you, please contact our Front Desk at 412-231-2377 during regular business hours.
All aquatics, including Pre-K programs, are paused until January 19th, at which time we hope to resume swim lessons if conditions allow.
