How do you staff your programs, and where does your staff come from?

CKE programs include veteran Program Managers who often travel regionally to manage our programs, as well as Room Leaders and Childcare Staff, who are generally hired locally. In most mid-to-large sized population centers, we have returning staff who have worked with us many times. Applicants to our childcare positions must demonstrate previous childcare experience, quality professional references, and must pass a criminal/sex offender background check. Good examples of the type of people we recruit to staff our programs are classroom teachers, camp counselors, professional day care providers, and volunteers in organized youth activities such as sports coaches, social/mentoring programs, and church or school day care settings.
