Hiring a Consultant Option:
Should the local school and/or church wish to hire an ECE Consultant as a teaching director for their early childhood program, such an arrangement would need to be a separate contractual agreement from that of the consulting contract. This arrangement will protect both the consultant and local school and/or church should unforeseen circumstances and/or delays occur.
