?? #TeacherTip with Tym the Trainer ?? The words we use shape how others view our profession—and how we view ourselves. You're not daycare workers; you are #earlyeducators! ?? ?? By using the right terms, we can elevate the #earlyeducation field and advocate for the vital work we do every day. Watch, share, and help spread the message!

This is why we do what we do ?? Patrick, a veteran turned early educator, faced unbearable pain and financial burden from a past injury. Every day was a struggle until his boss connected him with BOOST. Because of our incredible supporters, we were able to fully cover his medical expenses, giving him relief and a fresh start. "Today is the first day I have had no pain or discomfort and can focus on the future instead of dwelling on the past." This is the impact of BOOST and the power of our community. Please consider making a donation today so we can continue changing lives ?? https://lnkd.in/e3dxjFSS

?? Meet Our Newest Team Member! ?? Please join us in welcoming Meredith Douglas as BOOST’s new Director of Fundraising & Communications! ?? Meredith brings incredible passion and expertise to our mission. With her leadership, we’re excited to expand our impact and connect with even more supporters who believe in the power of supporting our early childhood educators.

?? BOOST in Action ?? Meet Alisha, who faced unimaginable challenges with her husband’s health and mounting financial stress. Thanks to BOOST, she was provided with the support she needed during an incredibly difficult time. This is the heart of our mission — providing for early childhood teachers when they need it most. ??

?? Did You Know? ?? 43% of early childhood educators rely on one or more public assistance programs just to make ends meet. ?? These dedicated professionals are shaping the future, yet many are struggling to support themselves and their families. At BOOST, we are committed to providing the support and resources these educators need to thrive — because they deserve to be valued and cared for just as much as the children they serve. ??

Early childhood teachers give so much — but remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. ?? If you or a fellow educator are facing food insecurity, support is available. In this #TeacherTip video, BOOST’s Director of Teacher Success, Whitney Carper, shares a valuable resource: FeedingAmerica.org, where you can find local food banks, pantries, and soup kitchens near you. ?? Watch below ?? https://lnkd.in/e-XuBTVx

?? Our leadership team had an incredible time volunteering at Harvest Hope this morning, helping provide food to those facing food insecurity. Serving others is at the heart of what we do — whether it's supporting early childhood teachers or lending a hand to our neighbors in need. Together, we can make a difference!

?? Your impact starts here! When you become a monthly donor, you’re gifting meaningful, life-changing support to our nation’s early childhood teachers ???? $25/month funds a teacher's attendance to a Financial Jumpstart class. ?? $50/month provides support for a teacher's transportation crisis. ?? $125/month in 1 year gifts $1,500 for housing or health emergencies. ?? $250/month funds a Pantry gift card to help combat food insecurity. ?? Together, we can make a difference each and every month. Join us today and be the reason a teacher feels supported: https://lnkd.in/e3dxjFSS
