About ELSSA
Our Mission:
We're on a mission to provide childcare centers and home-based providers with centralized back-office support, so that providers can grow their businesses, achieve financial stability and focus on quality programming and education.
Why We Started:
Directors and/or Business Owners of a child care program wear many hats. You're educators, caregivers, accountants, marketers, grant writers, recruiters, HR managers, and more. It makes it difficult to run an operationally-efficient business, especially after the effects of COVID-19.
The Early Learning Shared Services Alliance was created to help child care Business Owners and Directors reduce their administrative load, increase their revenues, and have the resources they need to hire and retain talented teachers, devote more funds to curriculum, staff training and development, and improve the overall quality of care and education.
What is a virtual interview?
Virtual interviews help employers connect with job seekers when they are not in the same physical location. Since hiring is a human process, employers would like to talk with you online (chat, video or phone) to see if you meet the requirements for the job.
