The problem we solve
The teacher
retention crisis
When great teachers leave, it costs more than money. Schools face $18,000+ in replacement costs, and the disruption can impact classroom continuity.
Teachers aren’t staying
In early childhood education, the average teacher stays just 2 years.
Why teachers leave
33% of teachers consider leaving due to low pay and feeling unappreciated.
Turnover is costly
Replacement costs exceed $18,000, not including the broader impact.
Building strong culture
Strong culture leads to
better retention
When appreciation is consistent and shared across the school community, the impact goes far beyond morale.
Improved retention
Teachers feel supported throughout the year, not just during appreciation weeks.
Stronger school culture
Recognition becomes part of everyday life, reinforcing shared values.
More engaged families
Families have a clear, appropriate way to participate in supporting teachers.
The Kina program
A more personal way to support teachers and staff
Parents add teachers and staff, explore their profiles, and learn what matters most to them. Share appreciation in just a few clicks, with a personal note that means something.
This creates meaningful moments of recognition that strengthen morale and school culture.
