Services
We, as staff and parents of The Phoenix School, believe that a quality early childhood program must meet the needs of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We are, therefore, a non-profit, child-centered school. We believe in immersing children in an enriching environment and a caring and nurturing atmosphere.
Our Babies Room teachers have cumulatively over 70 years experience working with infants. Our teachers provide nurturing interactions with the children throughout the day while supporting and encouraging each infant's individual development. Our caregiver/infant ratio is 1:4, allowing teachers to provide plenty of individualized attention.
Our young toddler (12 - 24 months) classroom is where children begin experiencing self-help skills. Our teachers encourage little ones to learn how to eat and drink independently, wash hands with help, and participate in clean up activities. Children also begin to learn how to react toward peers in socially acceptable ways all through the loving guidance of their classroom teachers.
Our older toddler (24 - 36 months) class is where children begin to show more and more independence. Children are encouraged to practice making choices, which enables them to build a sense of self. Potty training is encouraged at this age but never forced. Teachers work with parents and child once the child begins to show signs of interest.
Children (36 - 48 months) begin to discover the joy of cooperative play in our preschool classroom. Learning through play allows children to discover such important life skills as taking turns, problem solving, and self-regulation. Pre-writing and reading skills are developed through such activities as art, dramatic play and read alouds.

The most wonderful, loving neighborhood school. More than we could have asked for for our son. The teachers are amazing, the director and assistant director are angels, and the board is full of parents who are giving their time (for free!) to make sure it remains a happy, supportive, and safe space for our children.
When our son was six months old, he got pretty sick and we had to pull him out of school for two months while the doctors ran some tests. Obviously, it was exorbitantly expensive to pay both tuition and for a nanny during this time. Without batting an eye, the board and director worked

While we were excited to have our kids join the Phoenix School based on the online reviews and state funded pre-K, we had no choice but to pull them out after just a few weeks. While most of the teachers seemed caring and capable, there was a toxic dynamic fueled by one particular teacher that is clearly condoned by the school’s management. Virtually every time we observed this teacher we witnessed him barking orders at the kids and losing his cool. Aggressive, condescending, and authoritative. It appeared as if he was trying to force obedience through intimidation. Zero manners or etiquette
