Teach Kids Business, Inc. is excited to offer Impact 26, a transformative literacy and entrepreneurship program where students write, design, and prepare to publish their own books. Through weekly sessions, students build essential skills in storytelling, digital illustration, financial literacy, marketing, and public speaking.

The six week experience concludes with a celebratory book launch during our 8th Annual IKD Expo on Nov. 7, 2026, where each student presents their book, shares their creative journey and create an income from the sale of their book.

Students discover the purpose behind their book, clarify their message, and identify their target readers.

Discipline Policy

#TheBoot is a fast-moving week with high expectations and great results for our entrepreneurs. We maintain a very low staff: student rate, but given the amount accomplished in a week, our staff do not have the capacity to attend to serious or constant disciplinary issues from individual students. We maintain a "zero tolerance" policy for hateful and/or violent speech or actions toward any staff or student. We maintain a "three strikes" policy for less serious infractions. Parents will be notified after each strike. Students who are asked to leave the program for disciplinary reasons (either due to 3 strikes or one serious infraction) will not receive a tuition refund.

Special Accommodations Policy

Unfortunately, we are not equipped to support many special accommodations in #TheBoot program. Students must be able to contribute positively and constructively. If you have concerns about your child's ability to thrive in a fast-paced team environment, we strongly suggest that you contact us prior to registration (info@businessownersoftomorrow.com). In the case of a student who is not thriving in #TheBoot environment, we will contact parents right away to develop a plan of action. If we are not able to quickly achieve a positive situation for the student, we will ask that the student withdraw from the program and will be unable to provide a refund. Note that we have had multiple students with learning disabilities who have done extremely well at #TheBoot, but please reach out in case of any concerns.
