About
Child Care Careers (CCC) has been the leading staffing firm dedicated exclusively to the child care sector since 1996. Unlike general staffing agencies, child care staffing is CCC's sole focus, making it the go-to resource for thousands of child care centers across the country — from small single-location daycares to large national organizations. CCC provides on-demand access to fully qualified and pre-screened teachers, assistant teachers, and site directors for child care centers, preschools, Head Start and Early Head Start programs, school districts, and community organizations. Facilities can request staff for same-day coverage, short-term or long-term assignments, or permanent placements — often getting qualified staff on-site in as little as two hours. For job seekers, CCC eliminates the lengthy job search process by placing thousands of teachers and caregivers every week across full-time and part-time schedules. For facilities, the service removes administrative burdens like payroll taxes, healthcare costs, paid time off, and workers' compensation — all included in CCC's service offering. Key value pillars include regulatory compliance support, scheduling flexibility, cost savings, and convenience. Whether you are a caregiver looking for your next placement or a child care facility needing immediate staffing support, Child Care Careers offers a streamlined, specialized solution built exclusively around the child care industry.
