Substitute Lead Teachers are experienced and skilled in managing young children and assistant teachers in partnership with permanent child care staff.

SOS Substitute ECT Leads are knowledgeable of developmentally appropriate curriculum and classroom management skills to ensure a safe and positive learning environment.

SOS requires at least 15 hours of weekly availability with full-day availability (8-5pm). No half-days. Child care programs typically run from 7am to 6pm so substitute work hours would reflect this.

Our goal is to keep all substitute placements within 30 minutes of your home/school. However, we will go as far as 30 miles depending on the time it takes to travel to the job site. Job locations are spread out around the Denver Metro area.

You will be placed in licensed child care centers which means there is consistency throughout all centers you are placed in. They range in size and philosophy which will be shared with you when you arrive at each job assignment. You will always have time to ask questions before you are expected to in be in-ratio.

Yes, we would prefer that! How much you work depends on the hours you provide us in your employment contract. If your offer letter states full-time, we will do everything in our power to keep you at 32-40 hours. There will not be a shortage of work if you are open to travel a bit. Bonuses are available for long travel times.

For in-state applicants (lived in CO for last 5 years), collection of documents and job training will last one weeks. For out-of-state applicants, up to four (4) weeks due to other background check requirements.
