Childcare & Early Education

Ratios don't wait for a hiring committee.

A teacher's aide applies Sunday evening. Ribbon interviews her on the spot, confirms her certifications and availability, and your center director sees a scored candidate before Monday drop-off.

An unstaffed classroom is turned-away families

When you can't meet ratio, you cap enrollment, and revenue walks out the door. Ribbon keeps the teacher pipeline full by screening every applicant instantly.

Certifications checked first

Directors teach, Ribbon screens

Your directors are covering classrooms, not sitting at desks. Ribbon interviews applicants while they teach and hands them a ranked list at pickup.

Judgment you can hear

How someone talks about redirecting a tantrum tells you more than a resume line. Every answer is recorded and scored.

Every role at the center:
Lead teachers
Assistant teachers & aides
Floaters & subs
Cooks
Center directors

What it looks like plugged into your ATS

Ribbon connects to the hiring system you already run. Center directors keep their tools. They just see better candidates.

1

A classroom needs a teacher

An opening goes up at any center and Ribbon picks it up automatically.

2

Applicants get a call

Every applicant gets a text and email invite the moment they apply, and interviews by phone or video in 10+ languages.

3

They talk after the kids go home

Teachers interview in the evening, between jobs, on weekends. Nobody waits for nap time.

4

Scorecards reach the director

Scores, transcripts, and recordings land with your team, ranked and ready for same-day offers.

The questions directors and licensing teams ask us

Can applicants cheat the interview?

Integrity Monitor flags coached and scripted interviews automatically, so the person in your classroom is the person you screened.

How Integrity Monitor works

Will legal sign off?

Ribbon passed New York's Local Law 144 bias audit and is built to satisfy GDPR and CCPA. That matters in a licensing-heavy industry.
