About Us

Crayon Clubhouse was founded in 2014 to meet the growing needs of the community. Starting as a School-Age only program, we offered premiere services to the Connellsville area for after-school programming and summer camps. As demands for high quality Early Learning continuedto rise, we added a preschool program in 2017 and additionally a toddler program in 2019. The program quickly grew to capacity and it was determined that a second location to meet the needs of our local school age children was needed, so in 2018 the process was started to open Crayon Clubhouse II, Bullskin Early Learning Center. Both programs provide the highest quality programming, offering an exceptional play-based curriculum that meets all children’s developmental needs.
