Our Mission​

Our goal is to provide high quality early childhood professionals to support early

 

childhood centers for flexible periods of time at an affordable rate. 

 

       We accomplish this objective by: 

​

            - Providing high quality substitutes for early learning centers on an hourly basis

                   

            - Providing a fair compensation to early childhood teachers 

             

 

What sets us apart from other substitute companies

-Our teachers are all ECT qualified and, in many cases, Director qualified

​

-Extremely professional teachers 

​

-Centers can request substitutes weeks or months in advance if they

                         anticipate the need

​

-Centers can request the same substitute if it was a good fit for the center

 

             

Our History

Early Childhood Hourly Teachers started operations in June 2018. The company started after the founder Maru Garcia realized there were not many companies in Colorado offering quality substitutes for Early Childhood centers. The company has operated in different counties and has been able to serve over 60 child care centers since its beginning.
