Our Process
Each classroom is different, and so are your needs.
Step 1: Let’s Get to Know Your Center
Tell us more about your center, your team, and the children you support. Whether you need help with behavioral support, inclusive care strategies, or short-term staff coverage, we tailor our support to match your setting and the needs of the children in your care.
Step 2: Meet Your Support Partner
From experienced behavior technicians to students in allied health fields, our network includes individuals with backgrounds in early education, nursing, ABA, and special education. Each has been screened and holds certifications such as First Aid, RBT, or CNA — so you can feel confident welcoming them into your environment.
Step 3: Ongoing Support
Once you’re matched with a support professional who fits your center’s needs, we stay connected. Whether it's scheduling additional help or building a long-term care team, we're here to make sure your center — and the children you care for — continue to thrive.

A high priority of Lapapoe is quality, safety and security. We therefore, have strict safeguarding requirements that applicants must meet before joining us. This includes the following
Criminal History: Lapapoe conducts a criminal background screen on all Partners before joining the platform. This is conducted using a third-party background check vendor. We must receive the results of this check before applicants can be accepted
Sexual Offender History: Lapapoe uses the National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW) to screen applicants. This is the central repository used by Sheriff’s Offices. All applicants must pass this screen.
Licensing and Professional Certification Verification: Lapapoe also checks the licensing and professional certifications of applicants. Lapapoe uses sources such as the Secretary of State Professional Licensing Portal, University Certificates, and University Recruitment Portals to conduct this search.
CPR/ First Aid Certification: Lapapoe checks the First Aid/CPR certification of applicants.
Right to Work: In order to ensure applicants have passed the required immigration and security protocols to serve families, we require applicants to submit a state or federal-issued form of identification.
