2022-2023 Enrollment Details
March 16, 2022
Dear Parents and Families,
I'm writing to follow up in regards to yesterday's message (below) from Ms Connie and myself. As you now know, the 2022-2023 school term will continue at South Hills, but under new ownership.
Over the next couple of weeks, I will be working with Mary to get enrollment set for the summer and fall. I understand that with the announcement that South Hills would be closing, many families sought out different arrangements while others held out hope that South Hills would continue under a new owner.
Therefore, we need to know your plans! If your child is currently enrolled, you will find an enrollment form along with a tuition schedule in your child’s take-home folder. Please take time to fill out your request and return it to Mary in the office by Tuesday, March 22. After we receive everyone’s scheduling request, we will work to confirm enrollment and notify you as soon as we are able.
If you are currently on our waitlist, you will receive a personal phone call if space for your child becomes available. In the meantime if you would like to check your waitlist status, please call the office at 814-838-7114.
I look forward to hearing from you and working with you and your families!
Regards,
Sandi

Exciting Announcement for South Hills!
March 15, 2022
Parents and Families,
It is my pleasure to announce the sale of South Hills Child Development Center Inc. to Ms Sandi (Blum) Field! Many of you who have been with us for several years with multiple children will remember Sandi as one of the school’s administrators for a 3 year period until 2016 when she moved to a new position in Early Childhood at Meadville Children’s Center located on the campus of Allegheny College. She made a deep impression on parents and staff with her passion for Early Childhood Education and her varied experiences at the University of Pittsburgh’s Child Development Center. Sandi shares my vision and high expectations for children in areas of self-management, behaviors, citizenship, the arts, nature based learning, and certainly in all domains of academics. She is committed to Early Intervention for children with delays as well. I am confident she will keep the mission and vision of South Hills in place with her creative spirit, new fresh ideas, much imagination and creativity, Sandi is a serious businesswoman as well, and will operate the school according to all regulations and strategies, with which she is familiar.
We expect this transfer will take place at the close of the term, on Friday, June 10, which I look forward to sharing with you all as we celebrate your children’s growth and accomplishments on our final graduation day of the term.
Please read the letter below from Sandi, who will formally introduce herself and share the procedure to contact her regarding continued enrollment at South Hills if you so choose. Personally, I am incredibly pleased to turn my life’s work over to Sandi—I am so confident she will continue to support the beautiful sense of community, a high quality educational program and strong student success that South Hills has always represented.
It has been an honor to serve you all during my 50 years in Special and Early Childhood Education. I wish Sandi the best of success, and hope you will consider remaining here at South Hills where your child will continue to thrive, grow and succeed!
Kindest Regards,
Ms Connie

Dear South Hills Families,
I am thrilled to be the next owner of South Hills Child Development Center Inc. I have worked in the Early Childhood Education field for almost 20 years as a lead teacher and supervisor at the NAEYC accredited University of Pittsburgh Child Development Center, a director at Meadville Children’s Center located on Allegheny College’s campus, and as an adjunct instructor teaching Early Childhood Education courses. As some of you may remember, I also spent three years as the Education Administrative Director at South Hills from 2014-2016.
Though I moved to a different position, I always remembered my time at South Hills fondly and kept in touch with Connie and staff with occasional visits through the years. Connie had always struck me as a compassionate, yet savvy business woman who had a passion for the community and families that South Hills served. My hope is for South Hills to continue the mission and vision to provide a quality education for the young children of the community including supporting positive reinforcement, high expectations of academic success in all domains of development, and supporting all children and families including those with Early Intervention services.
The expectation is that the transfer will take place at the end of the school term (June 10, 2022). However, I will begin working on-site as soon as next week and will become increasingly more available over the next couple months. I foresee the transition being smooth and look forward to meeting all of you.
We will be sending out more information in the next 24 hours regarding enrollment for the summer and fall.
I hope that you consider continuing your child’s enrollment here at South Hills as we continue with the legacy that Connie has built, yet look to a bright, new future.
Best Regards,
Sandi
