We Believe That Strong Families Create Safe Families

At Jeremiah’s Place, we work to bridge the gap for families by providing more than just childcare. Our Strong Families Team can provide families with resource connections, support with basic needs, and much more to help improve self-sufficiency and self-confidence.

As a health and human services provider, you may recognize when a family is in need of emergency childcare. As Pittsburgh's only emergency childcare provider, Jeremiah's Place is here for all families to help bridge the gap between times in need.

Families can use the services provided Jeremiah's Place for a variety of reasons - including: medical and mental health emergencies, job interviews, homelessness, respite, domestic violence, and any other reason where a family may require emergency childcare.

After completing our intake process, a family can leverage the emergency childcare services provided by Jeremiah's Place free of charge.
