I have over 10 years of nonprofit administration experience. I'm highly organized and passionate about supporting staff, families, and smooth day-to-day operations. In 2024, I moved to Montana with my husband and three children, and I enjoy the outdoors and reading in my free time.
Jamie Striegel
Director of Education
I’ve always had a passion for early childhood education and began my career as a lead teacher for young learners before taking time to grow my family, including welcoming my twin boys in 2020. After serving on the ECCS Board and gaining a deeper connection to the program, I felt called back to the field. I’m thrilled to step into this role and support the growth and learning of our children and community.

They’re all so kind and positive! I’m so excited to be working with children, it has been a dream of mine to work with children and now I get to help them grow and learn!
