"We believe that FELS is making the world a better place by providing the highest quality care to those in our communities that need it."
FELStival will be held at Paley Early Learning Center located at 2199 Strahle St., Philadelphia, PA 19152. For more information, please visit FELS online at www.felskids.org/FELStival-2022/. In the case of inclement weather, FELStival will be held on June 26.
