Early Childhood Education Requirements for Preschool Assignments (Texas)

Early childhood education can be a challenging, yet rewarding experience! In order to be eligible to sub at some of our preschools in Texas, you will need to complete the following requirements: 

Step 1: Complete a background check through the TX Department of Health and Human Services.

Complete a background check through the TX Department of Health and Human Services. Fill out this form. This state department will send you instructions on how to complete this background check within the next few business days. Keep an eye out for an email titled "Child Care Regulation Background Check for HelloSubs - Actions You Must Complete". 
    1. If you completed a background check through this agency after June 2015, please request a background check RENEWAL.
    2. If you have not completed a background check through this agency, please request a NEW background check through this form. 
Step 2: Digitally sign Form 2912 - Pre-Employment Affidavit for Applicants for Employment at Certain Child Care Operations. Your Recruitment Consultant will send this to you via Zoho Sign. 

Step 3: Fill out, download, and sign Form 2985 - Affidavit for Applicants for Employment with a Licensed Operation or Registered Child Care Home. This document MUST be notarized. Please take it to your nearest notary, then email your Recruitment Consultant a copy once completed.
    1. If you need help finding a notary service, you can try scheduling an appointment through UPS here.
    2. You can also schedule a virtual appointment through Teaching Nomad here. Once a time slot is selected, you will receive a separate email containing the link to your BlueNotary appointment. This link will be sent once we manually set up the appointment in BlueNotary.
Step 4: Submit CPR / First Aid Certification. If you do not have this completed yet, we reccomend the following providers:
  1. Austin Candidates, you can register here. 
  2. Houston Candidates, you can register here.

Step 5: Complete 8 hours of Pre-Service Training. You can complete them through Texas Annual Training | Texas A&M AgriLife Learn (tamu.edu).
         
   Mandatory Courses (4 hours)
Elective Courses (4 hours)
  1. For the remaining 4 hours, you may choose any courses that interest you.

Step 6: Email the receipts for your out-of-pocket expenses (pre-service training, CPR, background check) to support@hellosubs.co. HelloSubs will reimburse up to $150 AFTER you complete five worked days.
