auxiliary programs

Learning doesn’t stop at the end of the school day. Nor does the fun. At the end of the school day, Lesley Ellis offers Clubhouse, an optional program with plenty of activities that allow kids to pursue a favorite interest of discover new ones. In addition, kids may enroll in Vacation Clubhouse or our summer program. In a comfortable and relaxed setting, all of these programs offer children the opportunity to socialize, learn something new, and most importantly, have a great time. Whether planting a garden, paddling a kayak, or learning to code, there is something for everyone. The LES teachers—along with area college students and various professionals—bring their classroom teaching expertise to new venues—making sure there is just the right balance of education and recreation and a distinct shift from the school day.

Daily Drop-in

The school offers limited space for morning and afterschool drop-in opportunities for families faced with unusual scheduling conflicts who need their student to arrive before the start of school and / or stay later than the normal dismissal time on a given day. Drop-in rates are below. Parents should make their requests directly by contacting Auxiliary Programs Director Emily Roos or 781-641-5987 ext 1205.
