Innovation Center Efforts to Recruit Substitute Childcare Providers

Norton, Kan., Feb. 13, 2025 – The Innovation Center is actively seeking individuals interested in becoming qualified childcare substitutes to support local childcare providers and centers. This initiative aims to address a critical challenge in the childcare industry: the lack of available and trusted substitute providers. ​

Like public schools, childcare providers can utilize substitutes, but the process to become a childcare substitute is often lengthy and costly. ​
