Early Childhood Program Looking for Subs

Are you passionate about shaping young minds and creating a positive impact in early childhood education? Do you have a heart for working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you!

Join our dynamic early learning teams at the ECCO High School Child Development Center, South Eugene High School Kids Down South Young Parent Program, and our Preschool Promise Programs at Buena Vista and Howard Elementary! We are seeking enthusiastic substitutes to support these programs, where you’ll work with a dedicated classroom team in a nurturing environment with low student-to-teacher ratios.

Why should you join our substitute pool?

  • Work with incredible early learners, from infants to 5-year-olds, in a variety of enriching programs.

  • Make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and young parents.

  • Enjoy a supportive and collaborative classroom environment with fellow passionate educators.

How to Get Started:

To substitute in these programs, you’ll need to meet a few simple requirements. The Office of Child Care and Oregon Early Learning Division require all staff working in childcare to be enrolled in the Central Background Registry (CBR)—and the process is quick, easy, and free!

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Enroll in the Central Background Registry (CBR):

    • Visit the How to Apply for Central Background Registry for Child Care webpage and complete your enrollment.

    • When applying, select the option: "I am applying for work, plan to volunteer, or be associated with a licensed child care facility, requesting agency, preschool recorded program, school-age recorded program, or licensed exempt child care receiving payment from ERDC Child Care Assistance Program."

  2. Complete the Fingerprinting Requirement:

    • After enrolling, you'll receive correspondence with instructions for fingerprinting. You can complete this step at Pak Mail, 1292 High Street, Eugene.

    • Please note that fingerprinting is required before you can start working in our programs. We appreciate your understanding in taking this extra step—your efforts will pay off when you experience the joy of working with these amazing children!

  3. Get Added to Our Substitute Pool:

    • Once you’ve enrolled in CBR:

      • Existing EA Substitutes: Contact Jill Johnson at johnson_ji@4j.lane.edu for infant and toddler programs, or Sarah Grace at grace_s@4j.lane.edu for preschool programs (or both!), and they will assist you in being added to the early learning substitute list.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a caring and impactful team! We can't wait to welcome you as part of our early childhood education family. Let’s make a difference together—one child at a time.
