Early Childhood

Welcome to our preschool! We are so excited to have you as part of our family.

​

In our Preschool, our philosophy is based on the belief that children learn by doing.  When provided with a happy, safe, and age appropriate environment, children’s minds will flourish and grow.  Our preschool provides each child with multiple opportunities for personal growth and a chance to develop a variety of warm and meaningful relationships. We encourage parent participation and invite you to join us in celebration of Jewish holidays and other special events throughout the school year.

​

The PHA preschool takes a balanced approach to early childhood education. At the core of our philosophy, we believe that each child is unique and therefore deserves individual attention and care. We incorporate the best practices from different theories and philosophies (child-centered, teacher-directed, project-based, theme-based, group collaboration) and create a warm and inviting Jewish preschool environment where the child is at the center of everything we do.

​

We encourage you to come and meet our team of dedicated educators, tour our vibrant and lively classrooms, and interact with our energetic staff and students.  You are sure to find a home away from home where learning is creative, fun and full of joy.
