Shaare Shamayim Preschool And Kindergarten
Congregations of Shaare Shamayim offers comprehensive preschool and kindergarten programs in Northeast Philadelphia.
Our program is committed to providing a highly regarded educational foundation while combining life skills and values to ensure a smooth, easy, and successful transition to elementary school.
Our program emphasizes the development of the “whole child” by recognizing the need for allowing each child to develop intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically at their own pace.
We encourage the development of life skills such as sharing, personal responsibility, positive interactions, respecting rights of others, and conflict resolution, which are formed and developed during these years.
We are instilling valuable Jewish values as we teach our children that they can help to heal the world one good deed at a time.
Our goal is to accomplish all of the above in a warm, supportive, accepting, safe, nurturing, and stimulating educational environment.
Our staff of dedicated and experienced teaching professionals has been carefully selected to meet the individual needs of young children.
