Dear Providers,

We’re excited to share that as of this week, ELC Pasco-Hernando has launched a new partnership with Tandem to help child care programs stay reliably staffed and supported throughout the year.

Through this partnership, your center now has fee-free access to Tandem, a staffing platform that connects you with vetted, state-compliant substitute teachers who can fill planned and last-minute staffing gaps. You pay only the substitute’s hourly wage — Tandem’s service fee is fully covered by ELC Pasco-Hernando.

What This Partnership Provides:

• A dedicated substitute pool serving Pasco & Hernando County with full fee coverage (providers pay only worker wages)

• On-demand coverage for call-outs, vacations, breaks, and staffing gaps

• Quarterly workforce & staffing best-practice training sessions

• Unlimited professional development access through Show and Tell Me More for your team

• Permanent hiring pathway after 120 onsite hours

Tandem is happy to help with any questions (614-972-1608, team@join-tandem.com). We are also hosting a virtual call on July 14th at 11am where Tandem’s team will talk through how the platform works and answer any questions you may have.

They are actively building a pool of substitutes in Pasco & Hernando County and are excited to help with your staffing needs!

Tandem is available to all contracted School Readiness and VPK providers in Pasco and Hernando counties, excluding out-of-county providers and school district-operated sites.
