Meet Your Host, Mason
Hi everyone, if we haven’t met, I’m Mason from Jackrabbit Care!
As a former children’s entertainer, I have a soft spot in my heart when it comes to inspiring the next generation and with The Take Home Folder my aim is to help you do just that by highlighting important aspects and points of view from all sides of child care.
I’m a firm believer that no matter where you’re at in life, there’s always something new to learn, and the child care industry leaves no exceptions. So whether you’ve been a child care center owner for years now, or maybe your little one has finally reached the age where you’re looking to enroll them with a local provider, I hope you’ll tune in to take away some interesting information and useful ideas to strengthen your child care experience.
So grab a pair of headphones and join me on this audio adventure. Let’s learn something new together!
