Mission and Values
A trusted Keystone 4 Star School, Masjidullah Early Child Care Academy (MECCA) strives to be Philadelphia’s leading subsidy-accepted Islamic childcare facility. We aim to set children up for life-long success by teaching strong family values, religious knowledge, and leadership skills. Our curriculum is influenced by Islamic concepts of morality, self-reliance, the importance of education, and family.
Every child is entitled to high-quality education in a safe, loving environment. We want to be part of your extended family you know you can trust.
A Peek Inside MECCA
At MECCA, we believe in nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Our preschool is designed to provide a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. From daily outdoor play and hands-on learning experiences to freshly prepared halal meals, every aspect of our program is thoughtfully crafted to foster curiosity, creativity, and well-being. Here’s what makes MECCA a special place for young learners:
At MECCA, we provide 30 minutes of outdoor gross motor play every day (weather permitting) to keep our students active and engaged.
Our center features two separate outdoor playgrounds—one designed specifically for infants and toddlers, and another for preschoolers—ensuring safe, age-appropriate play experiences.
We serve fresh, halal, and nutritious meals every day, ensuring children receive balanced, wholesome food that fuels their growth and development.
MECCA classrooms are designed for hands-on learning, sparking curiosity, creativity, and a love for discovery.
Our dedicated teachers foster a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Our Programs
MECCA is proud to participate in the Keystone STARS program managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. Students graduating from MECCA will enter kindergarten excelling and having mastered preschool concepts, while school-age children will be encouraged to strive for continued academic excellence.
Toddlers
MECCA’s toddler program focuses on building caregiving relationships and early cognitive development. Children aged 13-24 months begin mastering basic motor skills like walking, running, and climbing. They are introduced to Quranic surahs, Islamic concepts, and Arabic through songs and poems, while gaining social skills like sharing and following routines.

"Excellent and caring staff, they don't just want any warm body looking after kids, they really recruit and keep committed staff that are there to nurture your children. Daily home cooked meals, after-care and fun activities for children that help them to learn while playing; what else could you ask for. Also they are 4 star school so it's not just me saying this! "
