Denise Sellers

Denise Sellers

Denise has dedicated her career to working with children since her graduation from The College of William and Mary in 1973. She has been the Executive Director of Haddonfield Child Care, a private, not-for-profit before and after school program serving the school district of Haddonfield, NJ, for over thirty years. Prior to entering the world of out of school time, was a preschool teacher and special events coordinator at the YMCA, and teacher of the handicapped at a private school for children with extraordinary special needs.

Denise has been an active member of the afterschool community on both a state and national level, serving as an early and decades-long member and co-chair of the NJSACC Board of Trustees, which she left for several years but returned to in 2015. On a national level, she was an ASQ Advisor, an endorser for the NAA Accreditation process, a member of the committee which developed the NAA Code of Ethics, and an Afterschool Ambassador for the Afterschool Alliance. Denise has served as a representative for school-age on PINJ and the MAP to Inclusive Child Care, where she was instrumental in the development of the curriculum and certification for Administration of Medication in Child Care. She was also a fellow of the Afterschool Matters/PhilWP Fellowship, which led to her article, “Nana for a New Generation,” published in 2010 in Afterschool Matters.

She believes strongly that “it takes a village to raise a child,” so her personal life reflects the same level of commitment to children, whether through her work on various committees of her women’s club promoting literacy and girls’ leadership, or the board of Bancroft School providing opportunities for people with special needs, as well as the time she devotes as “Nana” to her two school-age grandchildren and helping out at their elementary schools.

She speaks across the country on the role of urban higher education institutions as anchor institutions, especially as it relates to forging partnerships with K-12 institutions on how to create educational pipelines for underrepresented youth to higher education. She is committed to diversity, access and inclusion, and supporting individual, communities, and institutions working in partnership to achieve shared goals for positive transformation.
