About Us
What makes Solel Preschool the best in the Valley?
Our Philosophy
The Solel Preschool provides a structured learning environment based on the goals of Reform Judaism and developmentally appropriate practice in early childhood education.
Our Staff
The Solel Preschool staff is a group of experienced, educated teachers who love children. They are CPR and First Aid Certified, have passed DPS background checks, and engage in regular professional learning experiences.
Our Curriculum
We foster developmentally appropriate independence in children and use positive reinforcement techniques of guidance including redirection, anticipation and elimination of potential problems, and encouragement.
Schedule
The Solel Preschool school year loosely echoes the Scottsdale Unified School District schedule, running from mid-August through mid-May. Winter Break, Spring Break and Summer Break Camps are also available (additional tuition required).
Enrollment

The registration cycle for each school year begins in January and is open to Temple Solel members in good standing first, followed by returning Solel Preschool families, then new enrolling families. * We will accept new enrollment anytime, as long as we have classroom space available.
Please fill out the forms online, then download, print, and sign. Return to us via email, fax, mail, or in person to the preschool office. One form must be filled out per child.
Forms needed:
- Registration Form (choose preschool or camp)
- Tuition Express Form (for all NEW Solel Preschool families, or if your payment method is changing)
