Our daughter has been at Lesley Ellis since preschool and, in June, completed her fifth grade year, graduating with four other students. We could not have imagined a better combined preschool and elementary experience for her ... the small classes, terrificteachers and the care and attention paid to her spirit have provided a wonderful foundation. She always reveled in the fact that 'everyone knew her' as she walked the halls of 'her school'. We wondered how she would adapt moving into a very large public middle school ... it has been great. The foundation was laid at Lesley Ellis - she is now building on that foundation with new friendships, excitement over bigger classes and a strong sense of self as she moves within this new and complex social world.
My son is in his 6th year at Lesley Ellis. At first we thought it was just a great pre-school for him, and then we realized the value of the education he was receiving. He has become a socially well-adjusted, kind and well rounded student due to the education he has been given. He is so fortunate. So too will your child if you send them to this incredible school.
My daughter attended Lesley Ellis for 5 years. The best things about it were: 1. Terrific teaching! They get to know your children and teach them as individuals! 2. Simple gifts! This is not a fancy school--these kids appreciate simpler things, other people, play and ideas not name brands and who has the fancier sneakers. 3. Social guidance. Very clear about how you treat other people, manners, how to interact, etc. and sets clear expectations. 4. Ambitious academics. Writing, math, sci, especially. 5. You will get into your next school EASY!
We are extremely impressed with the Lesley Ellis School. My three year old daughter attends prechool there and is very happy with it. We did our homework in researching top-notch programs but all that stuff on paper doesn't add up to anything close to seeing our daughter leave for school mornings with a great big smile on her face! The program is excellent, the classrooms are large, sunny, and well-equipped, and I feel confident that my daughter is safe every day and benefiting in so many ways from the Lesley Ellis curriculum. The teachers are way beyond the usual and do a tremendous job of engaging all the children. The parents are very involved and there is a good sense of community. I think Lesley Ellis is more valuable than schools we checked out that were double the cost.
