Advocate Marketing Materials

At Early Learner South Dakota, we want to make sure our advocates have as many resources at their disposal as possible. We have created an Advocate Marketing Materials page on our website. Here our advocates can find printable banners, business cards, social media toolkit and more.

So, what can you do right away?

• Get pictures out there for our awareness campaign using some of the items on the Marketing Materials page!

• On social media use #solvechildcare and #sodakkidsmatter!
