Abstract:	We present some preliminary results of a Strömgren photometric survey searching for radially pulsating variables among Herbig Ae stars. These young objects are expected to show a characteristic δ Scuti variability when entering the instability strip along their pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks, according to the theoretical predictions by Marconi & Palla (1998). We identified at least five pulsating Herbig Ae stars with periods in the expected range. On the basis of these encouraging first results, we foresee both new more detailed observations and accurate comparisons with theoretical models.
