Workforce support. Strengthening programs.
Never close a classroom for a staffing shortage again.
When your staff can’t make it in, a CEE Network professional can — experienced, pre-vetted, licensing-ready substitutes in your county who step into your classroom and keep your day running. Each booking is a flat $50 daily fee, and your program pays the professional their agreed-upon hourly rate directly, outside of the booking.

What does one closed classroom really cost?
A closed classroom
$480/day
Lost revenue from one closed classroom — 12 children × $40 per day. And that’s before families start losing confidence in your program’s dependability.
A CEE Network substitute
$180–210/day
A flat $50 daily booking fee plus the professional’s hourly rate (about $130–160 a day), paid directly. A known daily cost — and your classroom stays open.
- Directors pulled into classrooms
- Administrative work stops
- Staff burnout & resignations
- Children displaced from their rooms
- Licensing violations
- Upset families told to stay home
“The cost of one classroom closure is more than twice the daily cost of a CEE substitute.”
