Ellis Early Learning

Ellis Early Learning Ellis partners with families to provide high quality early childhood education and school age program

Ellis partners with families to provide high quality early childhood education and out-of-school programs in a warm, nurturing environment. A recognized leader in our field, we support children across the socio-economic spectrum, treasure diversity in all forms, and celebrate the joy of childhood. We were founded in 1885 as one of Boston’s first settlement houses. Located in poor urban areas, sett

lement houses were led and staffed by volunteers and patrons who had the time and financial resources to help improve the living conditions of working families living in poverty. Education was one of the most important services they provided. Throughout our history, we have maintained the commitment and philosophy of the settlement house movement to build a stronger community by addressing the unmet needs of our city’s working families, especially with regard to education. Ellis programs are located in two historic buildings we own at 58 and 66 Berkeley Street in Boston’s South End.

Last week, our faculty came together to organize and celebrate Liza, one of our many amazing social workers at Ellis Early Learning, as she gets ready to welcome her baby! Liza provides support, counseling, and resource navigation for all our children, families, and educators at 58. Her work here at Ellis is invaluable and we are so grateful to have had a moment to celebrate her.

We're so excited for you, Liza, and can't wait to welcome your baby boy to the Ellis family!
