How does it work? Through our ChildcareMatters platform,
- Child care center directors and registered family child care providers post positions for which they would like a substitute (e.g., the position, the date(s) and time(s) needed).
- Cleared and trained substitutes respond to the posted positions if interested and available.You can apply for the posted position with one click from your phone or computer.
- Directors and registered family child care providers select from those who have responded to the position post. Payment is made through the program’s current payroll process.
Pay is based on education and experience. You choose the child care programs and areas of the community in which you want to work. Want to increase your pay? Enroll in our Child Development Associate (CDA) credential program. You can be a subsitute (with background check clearance and state required training that we provide) while also working toward your CDA.
Our goal: Child Care Resources will connect qualified early educators with a network of partner child care centers and registered family child care homes.
Boost Your Pay by Earning a CDA!
The Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ is the most widely recognized credential in early childhood education (ECE) and is a key stepping stone on the path of career advancement in ECE.
The CDA is based on a core set of early childhood competency standards.
Individuals with a CDA have knowledge about how to put the CDA Competency Standards into practice and have a deep understanding of why those standards help children move with success from one developmental stage to another. Put simply, individuals with a CDA know how to nurture the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of children.
Ask us for more information about our CDA training.
