STEM ACTIVITIES & EXPERIENCES (5-20-20)
It was fun to be a part of the interaction! It left me wanting more. It journeyed me right to the BOOST Convention in my mind!!!
For a first-time Zoom presentation, the energy was through the roof!
I really enjoyed the training. It was really fun. Can’t wait to take more.
I love how interesting and interactive topics were, as well as how relevant they were to the programs I work for.
Speakers were great: Jason, Kellee, and Leslie…Dynamic presentations. Thank you!
Professional. On time. Interactive. Just what our team needed. Thank you!
I love the energy and passion and lesson plans were easy to follow. Extra plus of visuals and auditory instructions.
I really enjoyed the enthusiasm that the presenters had with their lessons. The positive attitude definitely changes the mood and perception of the activities.
I loved the speakers’ energy and the tools they demonstrated, would LOVE more BOOST trainings.
Having been a licensed after school care provider for the last 17 years, BOOST to me is a necessary learning component for any child care/afterschool program. Their ability to provide best practice information, and connections from multiple providers from all over the country, gives us the opportunity to see what is working at other programs and that information is PRICELESS. The sharing of information is so helpful and allows us to learn from each other. BOOST lets providers know what cutting edge ideas are for programming to keep your program fresh and new, from showcasing the latest educational manipulatives, to outdoor equipment, and activities. Now they are providing online trainings and learning communities. I can’t say enough about how this style of learning fits childcare and afterschool programs so effectively. Thank you BOOST!
YOU MATTER: RE-DESIGNING YOUR PURPOSE IN OUR NEW NORMAL (5-21-20)
THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND OPENING A SAFE PLATFORM!!! :)
I greatly appreciate the safe space that was provided to all attendees. -Definitely was an eye-opening opportunity for me!
Too many children are normalizing depression, anxiety, self-harm, and settling with it. Introducing these subjects that BOOST provides is what is going to help those children, so thank you.
It was extremely gratifying and it made me reflect on my life experiences to help better myself.
I love how the activity is applicable to both students and adults. It is a great way to check-in and see how people are doing.
Thank you for all of your dedication and commitment.
THANK YOU. CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT SESSION.
I came into the training in hopes of additional resources and gained more insight for myself. I truly believe that we will have more challenges up ahead and the importance of social-emotional learning and well-being for our students and staff is paramount. Thank you for this great training.
BOOST NATION: TOWN HALL: CHILDCARE PROMISING PRACTICES (5-22-20)
You are amazing! Thank you for facilitating this conversation I have learned so much already. I love your leadership and advocacy.
Thank you! That was very informative!
Thank y’all so much. This has been tremendously helpful. Thank you, also, for pioneering care for kids!
Thank you everyone!!!! I appreciated the chance to learn from all of you :)
You all have been super helpful. I really appreciate the information from those of you who have been there. Thank you!!!
This workshop was extremely informative and reassuring of what can be possible during these uncertain times!
I was very blessed to attend the You Matter training through BOOST’s Online Learning Community. I go to BOOST every year for professional development. It was a pleasure to have BOOST in my home virtually!
Awesome presentation!!!! Made me excited to move forward and collaborate more!
