Testimonials
"After a big move from Texas to Pittsburgh, we are excited about our children attending Shady Lane. Shady Lane has exceptional educators who bring their individual experiences and strengths. Our children are loved, respected and continually exposed to new people and ideas. This is an amazing place."
Althea Bradley
Mother of two Shady Lane students
"[Our daughter] has been asking for a 'big' school. [Shady Lane] looks like a big school from the outside but feels like home inside. Shady Lane is over the top - in all the good ways. Throughout each day, the kids participate and play. They learn to respect each other and their teachers. This goes for adults too!"
John Horchner
Father of student in Young Fours
"My daughter thrives in the nurturing environment of the Young Fours classroom. From the warm welcome she receives every morning from her teachers, and throughout the child-friendly daily routine, my daughter’s experience at Shady Lane has enabled her to blossom. The classroom activities feed her natural curiosity and excitement for learning. She has become so fond of her teachers that when our family went on vacation recently, she asked that we call them because she missed them."

"Shady Lane is staffed by well trained and dedicated teachers who provide a safe and nurturing environment for children, along with hard-working administrators who continually look for new ways to improve the school, and numerous volunteers who bring added warmth and diversity."

"Since [my daughter] has been at Shady Lane, her progress in her ability to learn has been remarkable. It has been wonderful to watch her grow in maturity, get so much enjoyment out of her learning experiences, and listen to her talk about the many great things that she experiences at school. I think your staff are exceptional and I am truly grateful. I really appreciate all that Ms. Susan and Miss Lorraine have done for [my daughter]. Their high level of enthusiasm, creativity and caring that they bring to the classroom has truly made her experience a positive one. Thank you Shady Lane!"
