Emergency Childcare Services – staffing partner for daycare centers, churches, and corporations

North and South Carolina's Childcare Staffing Partner

Your center, fully staffed
every single day

 
 
 

Emergency Childcare Services partners with daycare centers, churches and corporations across North and South Carolina to provide dependable substitute teachers, childcare specialists, and recruiting support.

This way, your classrooms and centers stay open, your ratios stay compliant, and your team stays focused.

Staffing your center has become expensive, time-consuming, and unpredictable

Every open position means more job postings, more interviews, more screening, more paperwork, and more uncertainty. Meanwhile, classrooms still need coverage, ratios must be maintained, and families are counting on you.

Reimagine Childcare Staffing
Without the Hiring Headaches

No recruiting. No screening. No interviewing.

Just qualified professionals ready to support your classrooms.

What Directors are Saying...

KATE TAYLOR

Emergency Childcare Services has been an invaluable resource for us. As a Preschool Director, maintaining staff ratios is critical, and Tiffany consistently responds quickly and communicates clearly. The substitutes arrive with complete files that meet NC licensing requirements. We've hired several ECS staff over the years and have had great experiences with the substitutes they've provided. I would highly recommend using Emergency Childcare Services if you are in the childcare industry!
