Small Wonders Preschool Merges With Temple Judea Early Learning Center

Small Wonders preschool is heading to a new location in 2017, according to a press release from the preschool.

The school decided on Nov. 17 to merger with the Temples Judea Early Learning Center at 38 Rogers Road in Furlong.

With the preschool's lease at St. Paul's Episcopal Church running up in June 2017, the school needed to relocate and found Temple Judea's facility to be large enough to accommodate the non-denominational preschool program.

"We have spent the last three years looking for a new location for our school," Small Wonders Director Linda Hatsie said in a press release. "Our standards are high, and our families expect a safe and inviting school home for their children. As we inched closer to our deadline a beautiful idea emerged. Small Wonders met with representatives of Temple Judea’s Early Learning Center, and together determined that we could fulfill each others' needs and offer the community a wonderful preschool home."

The new school will be called "Small Wonders at Temple Judea," according to the press release.

Staff from both Small Wonders and the Early Learning Center will offer young families a variety of preschool options for their little ones.

Three thousand families have found Small Wonders to be the right fit for them over the last 24 years, the press release said. Now, both staffs are excited and busy creating a new, merged school and preparing for the year ahead.

"The Director will be Sheryl Milstein, who has 17 years of experience running Temple Judea’s program," Hatsie said in a press release. "She leads with warmth and knowledge – a perfect fit for us."

Small Wonders at Temple Judea is planning an official open house, for which a date has not yet been set.

"We couldn't have asked for a better gift at this time of Thanksgiving," Hatsie said in a press release. "We are very grateful for the welcoming hand that Temple Judea extended to us."
