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.

Popsicles, bubbles, and lots of smiles! ☀️🫧🍦

Our Jamaica Plain and South End communities came together for two fun-filled popsicle parties! Children and families enjoyed sweet treats, outdoor play, and plenty of bubbly fun with the “Bubble Guy.”

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make these celebrations so special. We loved spending a joyful afternoon with our Ellis families at both locations! 💛
