Preschool Gets Creative with Financial Aid, Leans on Disney’s Charm, Oct. 20th

St. Louis Park, MN (September 23, 2013) – Though the economy is rebounding, family life expenses are increasing.  Tuition costs are rising at early childhood centers all across the country.  There’s no way to sugar coat: raising children is not inexpensive.

It is no secret that childhood education experiences yield enriched and productive teenage and adult lives.  This is why preschools tend to make every effort to prevent turning children away because of financial difficulty.  In light of this, the leadership of Beth El Synagogue and the Aleph Preschool decided that there needed to be a creative new initiative to counterbalance the upwards of $50,000 allocated yearly in financial aid.

After seeing Sofia the First and Jake and the Never Land Pirates dominate the small screen all summer on Disney Junior, the solution was simple: Beth El Synagogue and the Aleph Preschool, with Feld Entertainment, proudly present an enchanted special limited engagement of Disney Junior Live On Tour! Pirate & Princess Adventure at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota.  This Sunday morning, 10:30am show, was added to the tour solely for this cause.  This show is open to the public and ALL proceeds will go to support need-based financial aid for preschool tuition.  Tickets are only available by visiting www.besyn.org/disney-tickets
