We are NOT an agency
You control the staffing
You set the rates
You choose who works in your Nursery
Kalendit is a technology platform that connects you directly with vetted educators.
No middleman. No markup. No agency taking control of your staffing decisions.
AGENCY
💰Opaque Pricing
40-60% markups, hidden fees, exploitative margins
⏰ Lengthy Process
Phone during business hours, wait for callbacks, cross fingers
💼 Zero Hour Employment
Agency is the employer, controls everything
🛡️Dated, Opaque Vetting
Outdated manual checks, no automated nor digital processes to update and track renewals
⭐ Not a Team
Different staff every time, no consistency encouraged, “body in the room”
💸 Low Pay = Low Motivation
Agency workers often get minimum wage while agencies pocket the difference
