“What does your ideal school-age staff member look like?”
“How do you recruit school-age staff due to the odd working hours?”
“What do you do for STEM activities?”
“What are some school-age family engagement activities you have done?”
These are just SOME of the questions school-age educators have asked and there’s no better way to answer them than to have collaboration and connection from other school-age educators!
This week we are excited to announce the launch of our “All Things School-Age” Group!
This Group is a unique space designated for school-age needs where you can ask questions, share advice, discuss positive behavior strategy successes, behaviors that challenge you, STEM/STEAM ideas, connect with other School-Age providers, and address anything and everything school-age! It is a place for connection, community, and the improvement of school-age programming in homes, centers, and ministries!
