OUR VISION

OUR MISSION

OUR VISION

To develop and test a replicable, community-based model for recruiting, training and employing a service corps of older adults to provide flexible support in Early Childhood. 

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICE CORPS

Insufficient care for children under 5 years of age costs individuals, businesses, and our entire state billions of dollars each year. 


We believe a very small investment in our Early Childhood Service Corps could yield immeasurable benefits, for our economy, children and families in Colorado and older adults living in our community. To sign up for an information session, click here.

OUR LEADERSHIP

Meet Lisa Armao, ECSC Program Manager

Lisa Armao has over 30 years of experience in the Early Childhood field.  Most of that time was as Executive Director of Montessori Schools in the Denver area.  Working for all these years with staff, families and children, Lisa has a deep understanding of the challenges facing Early Childhood and the areas of critical need that have been brought about by the pandemic. 


Lisa truly believes aging is an asset and that if older adults are empowered and encouraged to use their experience, knowledge, and energy they can be part of the solution for the critical need in Early Childhood.Lisa believes in intergenerational relationships. To quote Margaret Mead: “Connections between generations are essential for the mental health and stability of a nation.” 


The Service Corps is a wonderful way to create these relationships while supporting the Early Childhood field and the children and families they serve.


The Early Childhood Service Corps is sponsored by Montessouri Intergenerational Learning Communities (MILC). To learn more about MILC, visit: https://montessoriilc.com/

OUR DEDICATION TO DIVERSITy, EQUITY, & INCLUSION IN ECE

We believe the identity of oneself is based upon caregivers/teachers' ability to name, reflect and act on social and ecological diversity and justice. We are deeply committed to providing the children of our Partner Sites with a diverse pool of volunteers and Encore Subs.


We are committed to prepare underserved older adults to access our education and training to successfully participate in our program. Our Partner EC Sites are more diverse and serve many children with diversity of religion, gender, orientation, culture, family structures, and physical/intellectual abilities. We hope to be able to match this diversity with our volunteers and Encore Subs.

We hope to tap into older adults in our communities and work to identify and recruit volunteers who reflect the cultural and language backgrounds of the children and their families in those areas.
 

If you are interested in joining a board of folks committed to building a more diverse, just, inclusive, and equitable foundation for our early childhood program, please fill out the form here:   bit.ly/ECSCDEIBoard
