Allison DeLesia
This is my 24th year of teaching and 21st year at Pound Ridge Elementary School. My professional background includes a Master’s Degree in Special Education with a concentration in Learning Disabilities. I have been an educator on both the primary and intermediate grade levels. I have lived in the community for 15 years. My daughter is a senior at FLHS. My little guy, is a 5th grader here at PRES. I am proud to be part of the Bedford community both professionally and personally!
I believe that all learners build on small successes. Each child will progress at his/her own rate, acquiring skills as he/she is developmentally ready. Maintaining each child's self-esteem and building a secure foundation for learning and growing will always remain a priority in my classroom…along with creating a culture of kindness and love of learning.

I began my teaching career at P.S. 37 in the Bronx before joining the Bedford Central School District in 2005. After many wonderful years at Bedford Village Elementary School, I joined the Pound Ridge Elementary School community in 2025. I hold a master's degree in Literacy Education and have experience teaching first, second, fourth, and fifth grades. I am passionate about creating a warm and supportive classroom where children feel valued, develop independence, build confidence, and discover a love of learning. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, son, and our dog, Ella!
