Elise Silva

Elise Silva has contributed to the field of early childhood education for two decades in a variety of capacities, from preschool teacher to family support specialist to coach. Throughout her career, she has approached the opportunity to support children's development as a privilege, and as her primary site for cultivating a more just and liberatory world. Her work as an artist, community organizer, and most of all as a mother has shaped her understanding that raising children can be both magical and revolutionary.
