Book this service when …

One of your teachers calls in sick and you need a reliable, fully vetted, national background check, finger printed substitute to fill in.

Our substitute teacher program was built to aid in sourcing last minute, reliable help when a teacher gets sick. Bell Family Company has been the leader in last minute bookings for nearly 15 years, as we grow and see a need we hope to further help our community of families and providers.

Our program also offers full and part time and temporary substitute teacher placements if you need to hire a candidate long term, to cover maternity or family leave or another reason. All full and part time and temporary placements are 15% of the total gross salary. To start a full or part time or temporary placement, contact us.

There are a number of additional ways to get your school involved with BFC besides requesting a substitute such as:

• Refer your teachers with children of their own to BFC services to improve retention and cut down on stress.
• Refer your teachers to sign up with BFC who want to babysit to earn more income.
• Offer free membership programs for teachers! What an awesome benefit for your employees.
• BFC offers workshops, talking engagements as needed/requested to further educate your community on hiring childcare.
