After 10+ years of experience in Early Education, I decided it was time to cultivate my brand of Early Ed. At Ellie's Academy, our students engage in our curriculum, which focuses on their developmental needs as they progress throughout our school. Our school's philosophy inspires everyone who is part of our Academy to act as an extension of your family. Based on each child's success and well-being, our core values are the foundation of Ellie's Academy. Not only do we find it essential to provide on-going care for your little one as they make their way through Ellie's Academy, but we also believe in the on-going professional development of our staff and center leadership team.Current Locations:Somerville, NJMonroe Township, NJEdison, NJ
