"At ECE Substitutes, we don’t just provide quality teachers—we ensure they’re always ready to step in, adapt, and make an impact in any classroom, anytime."

What we do

We keep classrooms running when staffing gets unpredictable

Call-outs, planned leave, and long-term gaps can pull directors out of leadership. We exist to protect ratios, routines, and learning continuity.

🧸

Protect classroom ratios

Staffing gaps don’t have to mean combining rooms or sending children home. We help licensed programs stay open and compliant.

🕒

Protect director time

Our coverage options reduce last-minute scrambling and administrative overload.

🎓

Protect program quality

Our teachers are vetted and aligned specifically to licensed early learning programs — not general temp labor.

Region is visible publicly. Center details are shared only with approved, vetted teachers. Built exclusively for licensed early learning programs.

Global Questions Answered...

Why should I work with a staffing and recruiting agency? Can't I do this for free?

A business will thrive with the right employees; however, finding great employees is not always that easy. Sourcing candidates can be time-consuming, and the costs of getting it wrong is expensive. Some studies say upwards of 150% of that employee’s salary.

What is your process and timeline?

We tailor our staffing and recruitment solutions to your unique needs. Generally, this includes in-depth conversations with you about your business and the role, interviews with vetted candidates, feedback, compensation, closing an offer with your chosen candidate, pre-employment screening, and gathering documents as needed. We will set expectations with you, but ultimately, – we’re building relationships.

Do you offer guarantees?

Absolutely! We stand by our teachers, seek long-term and permanent placements, and we guarantee your satisfaction. If there isn't a mutual satisfaction of placement, we will work on a replacement for no additional cost.

How do you find candidates?

Our approach to sourcing and recruiting is relentless and comprehensive. Whilst the specifics vary from role to role. Some of the processes include online postings, job board sourcing, and referral networks. If it were easy and quick to find the right person for a role, you’d have hired them already! We spend most of our time building relationships and making connections for the benefit of our clients.
