Jason Boose has been a stay-at-home dad for nearly a decade, receiving his Lifeways Early Childhood certification in 2016. He was a librarian before Google was a household name, and a journalist in the days of newsprint. These professions changed greatly, but after the birth of his first child, Jason realized there is a job that will never be usurped by modern culture: nurturing children. With the knowledge that children will always need loving care and parents will need a community of peers to look after their children away from home, Jason entered the early-childhood workforce in 2017 at Lifeways Milwaukee. He is a Kinderforest teacher who believes sometimes there is such a thing as bad weather that no combination of clothing can conquer; at these moments, a cup of hot tea and stories are better than a walk in the woods. Jason enjoys cooking for his family, gardening, reading, thunderstorms, snowstorms, and layered clothing. He is ever grateful to the LifeWays family who made it possible for him to play an active role in the rich, joyful environment that our community fosters. He looks forward to helping build this community further.
