One partner, all day

A school day, fully staffed.

Most schools juggle one agency for substitutes, another for therapists and a third for after school. Kodely covers every hour, and our after-school staff bring the enrichment with them.

  1. 01

  • TB risk assessment
  • Mandated reporter training
  • License, credential and certification verification

Staffing and enrichment, together

One hire. Staff and studios.

Most schools hire staff from one place and enrichment from another. Kodely staff bring the enrichment with them, so you don't need a second vendor.

The usual way

Two vendors.

  • Hire or contract staff for every site
  • Sign a separate enrichment provider
  • Source and ship materials
  • Train staff on someone else's curriculum
  • Two contracts, two invoices, two contacts

The Kodely way

One team. Everything included.

  • Staff arrive ready to teach
  • Career studios come with them
  • Every material packed and delivered
  • Trained on the lessons they lead
  • One contract, one invoice, one contact

District story A Central Valley school district

Enrichment at 19 schools, without adding a single hire.

The district wanted hands-on enrichment in its expanded learning program at every elementary and middle school, but didn't want to recruit, clear and train a new team to deliver it. So it chose one partner for both. Kodely hires, clears and trains every site leader, and they arrive with the curriculum and materials for each session.

The district gets one contract and one monthly invoice, and its site teams get enrichment without managing another vendor.
