Consultation
Every partner works with a dedicated Scoot Education Consultant who becomes your right hand for early childhood staffing.
Your consultant takes the time to understand your center’s values, challenges, ratios, and what success looks like.
That’s how your consultant sends not just anyone, but the right educators. After learning your needs, your consultant shares detailed profiles and resumes of matched early childhood educators who meet your requirements and compliance standards.
Recruitment
We proactively recruit qualified candidates within your communities – prioritizing those with relevant early childhood classroom experience. Every educator goes through Scoot’s rigorous vetting:
- Background checks
- Professional references, including one from a manager
- Virtual interview
- State-regulated ECE compliance verification (more above)
We continuously source, train, and coach high-quality candidates all year, ensuring you have dependable coverage and a steady pipeline of high-quality talent.
Matching
Matching isn’t just a step for us. It speaks to the core of how we view placements as not just sending anyone available but the right person who is ready on day one.
We collect all important information that is unique to your site ahead of time from curriculum expectations to daily routines.
Before day one, we personally call the educator to prepare them with everything they need to succeed: who to check in with, parking details, dress code, classroom norms, and any additional guidance you provide.
This ensures your Scoot educators arrive ready, confident, and aligned with your environment.
Temp-to-perm
Scoot offers a low-risk path to hiring educators you love.
Many partners use Scoot’s temp-to-perm pathway to hire exceptional early childhood educators full-time.
You get time to assess fit and performance, while we handle compliance and HR functions – letting you hire with confidence when you’re ready.
Compliance that meets your standards
We handle all certifications, background checks, and state compliance, so admin can focus on operations. All documents and certifications are securely stored and available whenever you need them.
- Multi-step vetting: Includes phone screen, 1:1 virtual interview, state and federal compliance checks
- Three references: We verify experience with previous coworkers and require that one reference be a direct manager/supervisor
- Ongoing support after placement: If an educator struggles, our team steps in immediately to coach or replace – so your students don’t lose momentum
Try-before-you-hire
Test an educator in a long‑term placement before hiring full‑time. Our temp‑to‑perm pathway gives you a low‑risk, high‑confidence way to build a team you trust without pausing classes or compromising quality.
- Evaluate real classroom fit: See how the educator interacts with children, collaborates with staff, and supports your routines before deciding to hire.
- Adjust or pivot with no risk: If the match isn’t right, your consultant quickly replaces the educator so your classroom never loses momentum.
- Hire with confidence: When you find the right person, transition them to your team seamlessly—after observing their performance over weeks or months.
Thoughtfully matched for early childhood
Your dedicated consultant learns your center’s values, environment, curriculum approach, and staffing challenges. With that insight, we thoughtfully source and match educators who not only meet requirements but who genuinely fit your classrooms.
- Personalized service: We gather everything—class routines, student needs, expectations, and communication styles—to match you with the right educator.
- Ready for day one: Educators receive all site details ahead of time (check‑in process, dress code, parking, classroom expectations) so they arrive ready and confident.
- A partner who stays involved: Your consultant actively supports the placement, ensuring educators thrive and your classrooms stay consistent.
Scoot success stories
YWCA Greater Los Angeles
The Challenge
YWCA Greater Los Angeles needed vacancy support and qualified, long-term educators to hire permanently for early childhood settings. They couldn’t call their previous vendor for support, so were looking for a staffing partnership with more responsive communication.
The Scoot Solution
We placed 12 long‑term educators across all 6 sites. We checked in regularly to ensure the temp-to-perm pipeline was strengthening their community.
The Growth
After multiple successful 4-6 month trials, they hired 5 of our educators across 3 of their sites.
What people say
about our early childhood support
I can always connect with my Scoot team for any concerns and questions. Our students and staff have grown to love the Scoot subs and we are excited to have them join our staff permanently.
Paradise Schools
Partnering with Scoot Education has been an excellent experience. They took the time to understand our needs and the culture of our site, and they consistently matched us with educators who fit seamlessly into our community.
Some of those educators have since joined our team permanently, reflecting the strong quality and alignment of the candidates they provide. We deeply value this partnership and the positive impact it has had on our community center here at the YWCA Greater Los Angeles Walnut Park CDC.
After leaving a job where I felt completely drained and unmotivated in my teaching career, I worried I might never find another meaningful role in my field.
Finding Scoot completely turned things around for me. The team took the time to understand me and placed me at a school that was the perfect fit. My recruiter was incredibly supportive and genuinely invested in my well‑being.
I’m now a permanent employee at the site Scoot found for me, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m excited to continue growing in early childhood education and so thankful to Scoot for finding me the right place to thrive.
