Full-Day Enrichment Program Now Enrolling for 4’s
ASAP is pleased to offer a new full-day Enrichment Program for 4-year-olds that will help parents with their childcare needs and provide endless opportunities for our preschoolers to learn and create in a familiar environment.
There will be no change to our regular morning and afternoon classes for our 4-year-olds. However, parents can now enroll their preschooler in this new all-day program that will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The fee for the new program, including regular tuition, is $450 per month. Only 15 spots are available.
Here’s how it works: Children in the 4’s morning class will have their regular academic curriculum in the morning, eat lunch, then continue the afternoon in our Enrichment Program. Children will bring their own lunches, and our teaching team will provide students with a variety of activities to — as the title suggests — enrich their preschool education and socialization.
If you are interested, please speak with Mrs. Duncan right away, either in person, by calling 412-367-0381, or by email to amazingscholaracademy@gmail.com.

WELCOME TO AMAZING SCHOLAR ACADEMY!
Our preschool program in Pittsburgh's North Suburbs creates a warm, loving and caring atmosphere in which each child is given the opportunity to experience social, physical and academic growth. Children graduate from our program with all the tools to help them succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Local school districts regularly report that our students are among the best prepared.
Our program began in 1980 as Mount Assisi Academy Preschool, a sponsored ministry of the School Sisters of St. Francis. Over nearly 40 years, we have had the honor of serving multiple generations in some families. Even the children and grandchildren of some of our earliest students have come through our program! So as the School Sisters aged and their need to repurpose the space occupied by our program intensified, we set out to find a new home to continue to serve our preschool families.
In 2018, we moved to the grounds of McKnight United Methodist Church in Ross Township and are now known as Amazing Scholar Academy Preschool. We brought along with us to our new home the same curriculum, approach and lay teaching team, as well as gratitude to the MUMC community for welcoming us. We are excited to have many of our current preschool families come along with as, and we are delighted to welcome new children and families to our quality program.
Preschool Families Support Neighbors in Need
This fall, our collective preschool family teamed up with McKnight United Methodist Church — which sponsors and hosts our preschool — to support those in need in the broader community. During the week of October 7-11, our preschool families contributed food, household goods, clothing and more to support the work of Global Links, Clean Closets for Campers, the United Methodist Church Union Daily Bread Feeding Program for the homeless, and the food bank at Christ Lutheran Church in Millvale. We are grateful to and proud of our preschoolers and their parents for opening their hearts and helping out our neighbors in need. Together, we can make a difference!
