On Saturday, August 20th, Beyond Teaching and Mommy’s Links will be holding the first Educare Fair, sponsored by Jones New York.
Beyond Teaching, which connects parents seeking qualified individuals to tutor or provide after-school/weekend care for their children, began using the term educare to describe the work that teachers do when they provide childcare services. Educare is care from qualified, skilled professionals – teachers – to give the best ongoing learning in every situation, developed as a means of describing. It takes “babysitting” to a new level, and takes into account a teacher’s unique ability to engage children at all levels.
Next Saturday, Beyond Teaching and Mommy’s Links are teaming up to connect parents and teachers in person via a speed-networking event. The goal is for parents to find teachers who can meet their family’s tutoring/childcare needs for the upcoming school year, and for teachers, who come from public, private and charter schools, to build a network of local parents who can provide them with work opportunities outside of school. In addition to this big take-away, guests will get a free gift bag filled with goodies from our sponsors as well as an opportunity to win exciting prizes.
Join us Saturday, August 20th, in the ballroom at the Hostel International (891 Amsterdam Avenue, Corner of 104th) in New York City from Noon – 3pm!
