Day care expands into South Fayette
‘Light Bulb Moments’
Chartiers St. Daycare expands into South Fayette Township
By Andrea Iglar
Dinosaurs were the theme of the week at Chartiers St. Daycare + TWO in South Fayette Township.
In early March, kids read picture books of dinosaurs, dug for fossils and enjoyed other age-appropriate activities centered on the prehistoric animals.
Day care director Maria Wisniewski, a South Fayette resident, said she develops a themed curriculum for each week to educate children while they play.
“I love the light bulb moments,” she said. “Seeing children learn is my main focus.”
Anita Foor and her husband, Ron Foor, opened the South Fayette center in October as an expansion of their home-based Chartiers St. Daycare in neighboring Bridgeville.
They have been in business for more than three decades.
The South Fayette building—on Millers Run Road near the intersection with Cecil-Sturgeon Road—had served as a day care under previous ownership.
The center accommodates up to 38 children, including infants, toddlers and pre-kindergartners.
The day care is accepting new clients.
“Medium to small day cares can continue the love, care and education that parents and guardians have started at home,” Anita Foor said in a written statement.
Hours are Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. South Fayette School District buses can drop off and pick up children from the day care.
Wisniewski said the center focuses on kids learning but also having fun—“which is their favorite thing to do.”
