Toddlers are given ample opportunity to experiment and to construct new knowledge in a sensory rich environment and at a developmentally appropriate pace with supportive, loving Morahs. We honor their inquisitive nature and understand that they are forming new knowledge about the world around them with every interaction.
In the Preschool Program, we encourage problem solving and self-expression in a healthy constructive manner. Each child’s progress and development is monitored and, B’ezras Hashem, the four year olds will be academically prepared, as well as socially and emotionally, to enter their Kindergarten year.
We are open year round with a back to back School Program Session and Summer Session. Hours are 8:30am to 3pm M-Thurs and 8:30am-1pm on Erev Shabbos.

Derech HaTorah of Rochester (DHR) is committed to providing a Torah education for all Jewish children. A seamless fusion of curricula has been developed to educate the whole child. DHR teaches a superior, scholastic curriculum that meets and exceeds New York State Education Department standards.
The intellectual and moral development of every student is maximized in a warm, nurturing learning environment. Each student is viewed as an individual, having multiple capacities, interests and intelligences. Thus, our educational philosophy reflects the wisdom of Shlomo HaMelech in Mishlei “חנוך לנער על פי דרכו” (educate each child according to his nature).
DHR teaches and models true Torah Hashkafos, where no child is ever left behind. With outstanding Rabbaim and Morahs, every child not only learns how to learn; but learns how to love learning.

Yeshiva of Rochester, also known as Talmudical Institute of Upstate New York, was founded in 1974 by Rabbi Menachem Davidowitz and Rabbi Dovid Harris, as the first external affiliate branch of Chofetz Chaim.
Today, the Yeshiva boasts a thriving Mesivta, Beis Medrash and Kollel. In this wholesome atmosphere, talmidim learn with hasmada, developing into high-quality, dedicated Bnei Torah.
The three pillars of the Mesivta’s success are the chevra, a balanced daily schedule, and a structured atmosphere of accountability. As the Yeshiva’s blend of local and out-of-town talmidim learn, grow, and excel, they develop a passion for Limud HaTorah and sterling middos.
