New Children's Enrichment Business Coming to East End
by Laree Rolley 11 Jul '20

11 Jul '20

Hi Neighbors! My family of 5 lives in Highland Park and we are about to open a new business on Hamilton Avenue called Romp n’ Roll! Romp n’ Roll is a kid’s gym that offers a wide variety of fun and educational gym, art, and music classes for children ages 3 month through 5 years old. We also offer programs like Kid’s Night Out, Camp, and Special Events, as well as amazing birthday parties! We are scheduled to hold our Grand Opening on Monday, August 3rd and are offering a free introduction class for any children interested in checking us out. We are also currently running a Founding Member special which had the best prices we will ever offer. Plus, our facility is clean and safe - we are following stringent guidelines for social distancing and cleaning. Our Founding Member special is being offered to the first 50 families who join us and gives you $40 OFF your membership per month for as long as you are continuously enrolled. This includes Unlimited Classes for only $79 per month, and it is normally $119 per month. The registration fee, normally $40, is also currently waived. Best of all, it’s risk free - once our doors open on 8/3, you will have 2 weeks to try us and if you don’t love us as much as we know you will, you can cancel by 8/17 for a full refund. Please consider checking us out at www.rompnroll.com/pittsburgh <http://www.rompnroll.com/pittsburgh> and sign up for a free 45-minute Introduction class at our facility. These classes start on 7/29, a few days before our grand opening so you can still take advantage of our Founding Member offer before it goes away. Take care Neighbors! -- Laree Rolley, Owner Romp n' Roll Pittsburgh East 6600 Hamilton Avenue, Suite 200 | Pittsburgh, PA 15206 P: (412) 717-1220 | www.rompnroll.com/pittsburgh Classes, camps and parties for the five and under crowd.©

Schools
by Emily Nicholson 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

Neighbors, As we are all undoubtedly aware, the future of full-time, in-person schooling is looking ever more bleak and uncertain. I have read about families in other cities/states coming together to form their own “neighborhood schools” in the increasingly likely event that schools remain closed. This would involve a small group of like-minded parents with similarly-aged children, similar levels of risk tolerance, and similar ideologies (i.e., disillusionment with the concept of distance learning for elementary school kids; recognition that many kids really need daily social interaction with other children) who collectively pool their resources to hire a teacher to effectively run a little school out of one of their homes (or rotating amongst their homes). The kids would be physically together and would and play and learn together. This is similar to homeschool groups/co-ops that have existed for years within the homeschool community; the difference would be the hiring of a professional educator, because we did not make the choice to homeschool and many families do not have the ability to effectively do so. Is anyone thinking of doing this? If so I would love to hear your thoughts. But unless you are thinking about this or you know someone who is, or you have other helpful or relevant information, please don’t reply to me and please don’t start a public back and forth on this forum. I’m not interested in anyone’s opinions about the necessity of school closures, lockdowns, social distancing, whatever. I just want the best education possible for my daughter under the circumstances. That’s why I’m posting this here and not on NextDoor. Clearly school reopenings have become the next great unnecessarily political pandemic debate, but you don’t have to be of any particular political persuasion to want a good education for your kid. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone
