It’s August Mamas and everyone is looking for after school programs in Pittsburgh.  Many of us are 9-to-5 mamas, so that means we have to find a safe environment for our children when school is out.  Well, BrownMamas.com is going to attempt to get you halfway there.  This list of After School programs in Pittsburgh is not an endorsement of any childcare center.  It is simply a compilation of possibilities.  From the North Side to Garfield and Mckees Rocks, here is a list of After School programs in Pittsburgh you can check into for your little Pittsburgh student.  Please let me know if there are any programs that should be added to the list.  Enjoy!
