Safe places for kids during COVID-19. What are Community Learning Hubs? The Allegheny County Community Learning Hubs are a great option for parents who need child care when in-person school is not in session (PDF). A partnership between Allegheny County, Allegheny County Partners for Out-Of-School Time (APOST), and Trying Together, most Learning Hubs are open all day on weekdays, but parents should check with individual Hubs for exact times. Free Wi-Fi and headphones will be provided, but children should bring their own technology device (laptop computer, tablet, phone). At Learning Hubs, staff will help to facilitate virtual curriculum from a child’s school district in the morning by: helping them to get online each morning and keep them motivated to engage virtually; troubleshooting throughout the day and checking that they are completing assignments; facilitating connections with their teachers during their office hours and other instructional supports; and being attentive to their social and emotional needs. In the afternoon, fun activities will be provided. Locations There are more than 50 Community Learning Hubs in Allegheny County (map). Most locations are open Monday through Friday during normal school hours.

Each Learning Hub must adhere to the COVID-19 health and safety guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and Allegheny County. The following health and safety precautions have been put into place: children and staff will be screened daily for their temperature and any symptoms; children will be grouped in pods of 10 or fewer and will spend the entire day with that pod; physical distancing will be maintained with adequate space, desks, and chairs; and children must wear their own mask at all times, except when eating or drinking. Additional Resources In addition to the Learning Hubs, there are many other resources available to help families at this time including: Allegheny County child care providers can accept subsidy for full-day care for school-age children.
