Abington Gerstadt Center

Director, Rukiya Davis

My name is Rukiya Davis and I am the Director of the Gerstadt Center in Abington. I have a Bachelor's degree in Education from Northern State University. I have been with Play & Learn since 2006, and am excited about working with the entire Gerstadt Center community!

Prior to working with Play & Learn, I was a first grade teacher in Howard County Public School System, an Assistant Director at the Malvern School, and an Education Coordinator for Head Start. I am also the mother of a six year old little girl, who is the center of my world! I love teaching and helping children learn and grow into confident individuals. I am honored to be a part of the Gerstadt Center family.

Abington, PA 19001

The Gerstadt Center is located on Old York Road, directly across from Abington Memorial Hospital, near the intersection of Old York Road and Woodland Avenue. Opened in 2003, the Gerstadt Center provides convenient, on-site child care for Abington Memorial Hospital employees and students, who receive tuition discounts and priority enrollment. Community families are also welcome to enroll.

Our Center was designed with children in mind. The spacious playground has separate areas for younger and older children and paved areas for riding toys. Indoors you’ll find brand new, bright, cheerful classrooms for learning centers and play.

At the Gerstadt Center, Play & Learn staff are dedicated to meeting the developmental needs of children ages six weeks through preschool and will be offering full-day kindergarten licensed by the Department of Education. Extended hours accommodate a variety of full-time and part-time schedules, providing families with convenience and flexibility. Our Center Director and teaching staff look forward to welcoming you and your child to the Gerstadt Center.
