Introducing the new Care Camp

We've created something powerful and we can't wait for you to see it.

After months of heads-down work, we’re here to reintroduce ourselves, our new mission, and our new free job software exclusively built for child care providers.

We’re Care Camp, and our mission is to make hiring in child care better for providers and employees. We hold three basic convictions:

1. We believe quality child care is a net-positive for children, families, and our communities.

2. We believe a child care businesses is both a way to make a living and to leave an incredible long-term legacy in our society.

3. We believe we can only care and educate children if our staff are happy and fulfilled, and we can only keep our staff happy if we’re happy and fulfilled.

We hope you can relate to these convictions. We believe most of us have entered and remained in this industry because we believe the work we do has an incredible impact on our future.

It’s nice to meet you. Now let’s show you what’s new.

After our launch and a burst of mid-summer blog posts, we grew and grew and grew. Over 14,000 child care leaders now subscribe!

We also received lots of feedback from the Care Camp community along the way, and learned a lot about how to better help you.

We’re now ready to deliver.

The biggest request from child care leaders? A simpler way to hire high-quality job applicants.

We worked for months on how to make this happen, and we’ve built something we think you’ll love. It’s a new job software, built exclusively for early learning and care professionals to hire great talent and find great jobs.

Hiring that’s simple, yet powerful

That sounds like an iPhone commercial, but we really mean it. Care Camp’s job software is surprisingly simple, yet it delivers exactly what you need:

• Simple job posting: post in just one minute and forget the complicated workflows on Indeed or ZipRecruiter

• Job ads are spread far and wide: your jobs will show up on Google and other search engines automatically

• Shareable, by nature: you and your colleagues can share your jobs to social media with just one just click

• Customizable: set how you want to receive applicants: via email, in Care Camp, or elsewhere

• Easy to read: candidate profiles are simple so you can find the important information quickly

Here’s a look at the software, which you can access here:

The best part? Posting jobs is FREE (seriously!)

Indeed costs about $33 per application, and we think that’s ridiculous. You can start posting to Care Camp for free, and your job will go out to all our job subscribers.

And if you want to hire faster and get more qualified applicants, our Featured Ad and other options will remain affordable.

Starting today, paid Care Camp subscribers also get a free Featured Ad posting once per year. Subscribe to a paid plan by 8pm ET/ 5pm PT today get the free post today.
