Garfold said that that South location at 4411 Stilley is a Brentwood address but that part of that property extends into Whitehall.

Enrollment at Munchkin University's Baldwin Township location is filled to capacity, Garfold said, but Munchkin University is accepting applications for children at its new, Brentwood spot.

Bright & Early Learning is in the TRAAC Building on Churchview Avenue at the end of August.

Bright & Early Director Lori Nestor confirmed that Bright & Early has been trying to find other child-care options for the children that it serves but that its main desire is to remain open, possibly at another location in the Baldwin-Whitehall area. (UPDATE on June 30 at 1:33 p.m.: Bright & Early will cease all operations at the end of August and will not be moving to a new location, Nestor said.)

The TRAAC Building's owners, Tobias Randolph & Associates, have said that they "are eager to bring in another community-service tenant (after Bright & Early leaves)—perhaps another child-care provider—to suit the needs of our area."

Tobias Randolph did not elaborate on whom that other tenant could be.

Munchkin University's Baldwin Township location is approximately 3.82 miles away from Bright & Early.

Munchkin University's Brentwood location is approximately 3.14 miles away from Bright & Early.
