Child care centers across the country are facing a persistent staffing crisis. The workforce that once sustained this industry now has more flexibility, choice, and earning potential elsewhere, making it increasingly difficult for programs to find and retain qualified staff.

We saw this firsthand. We heard it from directors every day. And we built Tandem to do something about it.

Tandem bridges the gap between how early childhood educators want to work and how child care centers need to operate. Our platform connects licensed programs with job-ready, fully credentialed substitute educators exactly when coverage is needed. With reliable staffing support, centers can keep classrooms open, maintain ratios, increase enrollment, and spend less time scrambling to fill gaps.

At the same time, Tandem creates new opportunities for skilled child care professionals. Educators can choose when and where they work, set pay expectations, and access their earnings quickly after each shift. This level of flexibility and financial control is rare in early childhood education, and it is long overdue.

We’re here to strengthen the child care workforce and bring stability back to the programs families depend on. Join us in building a more sustainable future for early care and education.
