Established as a settlement house in 1885, Ellis Memorial continues to offer innovative educational and social programs that support the diverse and underserved needs of working parents and families.

We offer early education and childcare programs for children two months to thirteen years, and an adult day program for frail, elderly, and disabled adults.
