Meet Our Director

My name is Shelly Allen, and I am the Center Director for The Learning Tree of Elgin West! I have been working at the center for 35 years – children I had in my very first preschool class are now bringing their children to our school. My passion and love for children is what keeps me doing this job every day! I am involved with the Elgin Partnership for Early Learning Program as well as working with our local High School and Community College to support new teachers in the field. I am committed to developing teachers who love teaching, so that they can teach children to love learning. I was raised in the Elgin area and currently reside in South Elgin. I enjoy spending time with my husband and two grown children. My favorite place outside of Elgin West to be is on a beach with a good book.
