At Federation Early Learning Services (FELS), we provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children ages 6 weeks to 5 years can grow, learn, and thrive. Backed by over a century of experience in early childhood education, FELS offers families peace of mind and children a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success.
Our centers are staffed by warm, dedicated educators — many of whom have been with FELS for 20+ years, and our team holds an impressive average staff tenure of 8.5 years. That means your child benefits from consistent, caring relationships with professionals who truly know early childhood development.
✨ Here’s What Sets FELS Apart:
- ✅ Keystone STAR 4 Quality Rating — the highest level in Pennsylvania’s quality rating system
- ✅ National NAEYC Accreditation — meeting the gold standard for early childhood programs in the U.S.
- ✅ Creative Curriculum — a research-based approach that builds on each child’s strengths and interests
- ✅ Full-Day Hours: 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM (extended hours begin August 25, 2025)
- ✅ Exciting Enrichment Programs — STEM, sports, music, art, and more
- ✅ Expansive Outdoor Spaces — with acres of play areas for exploration, exercise, and outdoor learning
We are proud to have been featured on FOX29 and NBC10, showcasing the impact our programs have on children, families, and the broader Philadelphia community. FELS has also been highlighted in the Jewish Exponent, reaffirming our longstanding commitment to quality care and early education.
