educational programming
Our Pre-K and Kindergarten children have the opportunity to experience a wide variety of educational and cultural activities in the Philadelphia area by taking trips to the Bluett Theater of St. Joseph’s University, The Camden Aquarium, Morris Arboretum, Children’s Festival at the University of Pennsylvania, Lower Merion Conservancy, Philadelphia Zoo, Sandy Hill Farm and the Philadelphia Art Museum. These are just a few of the field trips our students have taken over the years.
Music with Mama Mac
There is nothing more fun than starting the week off with music! While the program for the younger children is filled with finger plays, silly songs and of course seasonal and holiday music and dance, it can get quite sophisticated at times. The children learn early on that the first two or three minutes of the program is for listening. We will also use musical instruments and learn about slow and fast rhythm.
Don’t be surprised if your child comes home singing in Hebrew! We love to sing songs just like the yeladim in Israel!

physical education
OUR MISSION
Young children need lots of physical activity. Exercise builds strong bones and muscles. It also helps children sleep well at night and stay alert during the day. It promotes hand-eye coordination and improves concentration in school. But in order to keep kids engaged and involved, fitness has to be fun.
At Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El Early Childhood’s Center, we provide children with many opportunities to experience and practice exercise and sports skills. We proud to be a part of the Amazing Athletes team who provide our children ages 3 and older with a formal physical education program. By promoting movement that enhances cardiovascular fitness, strength, balance, flexibility, coordination and self-esteem our goal is to help kids establish the foundation for a life-long habit of achieving fitness.
