Reliable staffing support for Martin County child care programs.
Through a partnership with ELC IRMO, Martin County providers can access vetted, state-compliant substitutes, helping programs stay open and in ratio when staffing gaps arise.
Supporting high-quality care across Martin County.
Staffing disruptions are one of the biggest threats to child care stability. When classrooms go uncovered, programs face ratio risks, closures, and added stress on directors and staff.
ELC Martin and Tandem are partnering to remove these barriers by giving providers access to vetted, compliant substitutes so they can stay focused on quality care.
This is a partnership that is:
Designed specifically for licensed child care programs
Built to support continuity, compliance, and quality
Centered on real provider needs in Martin County
Dependable coverage for your classrooms.
Tandem is a staffing platform created exclusively for early learning programs. We connect child care providers with a pool of vetted, state-compliant substitute teachers who are ready to step in when coverage is needed.
Let us know when you need coverage and what type of support you’re looking for.
