Society Hill Synagogue Playschool in Philadelphia is a welcoming, inclusive school for children ages 2-5 that embraces diversity in religion, ethnicity, race, and family structure. Our philosophy is child-centered and play-based. We believe that children learn through play in a safe and nurturing environment. We respect children as individuals and respond to their needs with compassion and dedication.

Our curriculum integrates age-appropriate academics focused on literacy and language acquisition, early math skills, and scientific exploration with free play and early socialization activities indoors and outside in our large courtyard, theme related art projects, circle time and singing, and a celebration of Jewish values, holidays, and customs.

Our unique Parent Cooperative program features a rotating “Parent of the Week,” providing an opportunity for parents, grandparents, or other caregivers to be in the classroom for a day with our students and share in all activities. The “Parent of the Week” sees first-hand what their child’s day is like, gets to know their child’s friends, and provides a healthy snack for students.
