Pittsburgh area church offering “Parents Night Out” childcare for Valentine’s Day
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – It’s a sweetheart deal so parents can enjoy a night out, away from the kids, and on Valentine’s Day.
It’s the real deal for local families all thanks to a local church.
Valentine’s Day plans can sometimes take a backseat to child care and now, Memorial Park Church in McCandless doesn’t want that to happen this year.
On Valentine’s Day, from 6 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., you can take your kiddos to the church’s children’s wing and the Clayton Center while you and your significant other enjoy a stress-free evening.
The church will watch your little ones and keep them entertained.
This isn’t just for the little ones either, it’s for kids of all ages.
Ryan Pietryga, the fellowship’s Director of Family Live said they’ll be set up with caretakers and facilities that will be appropriate for newborns all the way to high schoolers.
He said they’ve been blessed with the ability to offer the service so they want to make sure they can help as many families as possible.
“We know life is busy,” he said. “We know life can be a little chaotic at times so if we can help families in any way, even if that just means taking their kids for a couple of hours while they go have a date night, that’s what we want to do.”
Again, he said this is for anyone, not just the Memorial Park Church Community.
Finally, there’s no cap – meaning they’re not limiting the number of kids they’ll watch that night.
However, you will have to register by February 8.
Of course, the only other challenge is making sure you can get a reservation on Valentine’s Day that fits within that two-and-a-half-hour window.
You can register on their website right here.

An overturned truck spilled hazardous materials onto the 62nd Street Bridge late Monday night and crews spent several hours working to contain the spill.
The Cherry City Volunteer Fire Company said it was assistant on a “large scale hazmat incident” along with crews from Allegheny County Emergency Services and the city of Pittsburgh’s Bureau of Fire.
A truck turned onto its side on the Sharpsburg side of the Senator Robert D. Fleming Bridge, also known as the 62nd Street Bridge, late Monday night and the fire company said crews were working to contain the leak.
An aerial view from the KDKA Drone Team around 3 a.m. Tuesday showed the large response from crews working at the scene of the crash.
A first responder told KDKA’s news crew at the scene that the chemical that was spilled was peroxide and the fire company said crews were working to keep the material from entering drainage systems.
Around 4 a.m. Tuesday, the fire company provided an update and said that all “hazardous materials have been mitigated,” but that the bridge is expected to remain closed for an extended period of time.
Drivers are being urged to use alternate routes for the morning commute.
