This is her twenty-sixth year at the Children's School. After teaching four-year olds full time, this is the fifth year Estelle will be teaching on a part-time basis.
Both of Estelle's sons are Children's School alumni. Joel, living in Los Angeles, an entertainment writer, is married to Karen, a fashion stylist, and they have a fourteen -year-old daughter. Steven, living in Alexandra, VA is an Assistant Chief Inspector for the Federal Government. Steven has a son who recently celebrated his ninth birthday and a soon to be seven-year-old daughter. Her grandchildren are a source of great happiness! Estelle's husband, Steven, is a business and transactions attorney with his own firm. Estelle enjoys cooking, dining in restaurants, reading, gardening, the performing arts, travel, walking, playing golf, and seeing the world through the eyes of children! Each child has a world inside them and The Children's School brings us together. Estelle and Steven are proud supporters and volunteers for 412 Food Rescue, The Free Store and The Queens Gambit.
