About the Owners

About the Director

About the Director

Ellen and Alan Farnsworth are the owners of Crabapple Academy. Alan recently retired after teaching full time as a Latin teacher at Walton High School. Ellen is our creative powerhouse (and photographer in residence) here at Crabapple Academy. She has her Bachelor of Arts: studying art history, philosophy, literature and film. Ms. Ellen created our Crabapple Academy Legacy Curriculum (A Renaissance Approach to Early Childhood) in 2017. Her inspiration to light a fire in each child’s heart to find, perfect and share their gift is a source from which she draws a huge inspiration in her work. 

She creates an environment here that speaks to the children on a whole-child level and is meant to inspire them to excel in all areas. Ms. Ellen has 17 years of experience in Early Childhood Education. Ellen loves to document the children's growth and learning as a narrative of their journey at Crabapple Academy through her photography. She and Alan have two children, Ivy and Knox, and live here in the Crabapple community.
