Leslie Arrowsmith is the director of Carmel Nursery School.

Leslie loved the family atmosphere of the school and later enrolled her second daughter, Lily, also. The children both graduated at age 5, totally ready to go to kindergarten.
In 2010, there was an opening for a certified teacher and Leslie became an official member of the staff. Leslie taught the 3-year-old class for two years and became the director in 2012 when the director retired. She has been here as director ever since.
Before coming to Carmel, Leslie taught for the School District of Philadelphia, Graduate Hospital Child Care and Learning Center, and was the director of Treasure House childcare center in Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. Leslie grew up in the small town of Forest City in northeast Pennsylvania. She graduated from Bloomsburg University with a degree in Elementary Education and moved to Philadelphia to pursue her teaching career.
