Celebrating ESOP Month at Imagine

Itโ€™s one of our favorite times of the year: ESOP Month!
At Imagine, being an employee-owned company is at the heart of who we are. ESOP Month is our chance to pause, celebrate, and recognize what ownership means for our staff, families, and partners.

Whatโ€™s Coming This Month

All month long, weโ€™ll be spotlighting the power of ownership in action. From the launch of our Ownership in Action Awards to center-level celebrations and storytelling, there will be plenty of ways to connect. Each week, you can look forward to updates, shout-outs, and new opportunities to get involved.

Why We Love It

Employee ownership isnโ€™t just a benefit, itโ€™s a philosophy that strengthens our community. When teachers, directors, and staff are owners, it shows up in every classroom, every family relationship, and every part of Imagineโ€™s future.

As one teacher recently shared: โ€œBeing an owner means Iโ€™m not just working here, Iโ€™m building something for myself, my coworkers, and the children we serve.โ€ That sense of pride and purpose is what makes ESOP Month so meaningful.

How to Get Involved

  • Employees: Nominate your peers for the Ownership in Action Awards, share your story of ownership, and join in the celebrations at your center (wearing your ESOP gear!).
  • Parents: Celebrate alongside us! Recognize the amazing work of your childrenโ€™s teachers and help us spread the word about Imagineโ€™s unique ownership model.
  • Partners: Join the celebration by amplifying Imagineโ€™s story and highlighting the power of employee ownership in action.

ESOP Month is a celebration of all of us, owners, families, and partners, who make Imagine such a special place. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We canโ€™t wait to share the stories, highlights, and celebrations throughout the month.

Hereโ€™s to ESOP Month. Hereโ€™s to ownership in action!

Stay tuned for more updates!
