We know and recognize our employees are the reason for our success. Our philosophy is to take care of our people and they will take care of the rest. That’s why we offer so many benefits focused on appreciating work-life balance.

Let’s start with the basics-benefits we believe are essential entitlements. Keep scrolling to learn how Paragon goes above and beyond!

It’s about the everyday wins

Unlike an office setting, we’re working remotely from our homes, in our community, and school settings. We stay connected and celebrate our wins, together!

The Paragon Difference
CAPES Program

The why, the how, the what:

When parents/guardians cancel, it’s industry standard for a fee-for-service position to not pay the employee. However, we find it more important that we adhere to our values. So, we’ve developed a CAPES program for when a cancelation happens. Our full-time employees have several opportunities to fill the missed hours- providing financial peace of mind for our full-time employees.

CAPES Program:

We understand when an appointment is canceled, often it is out of the control of an employee. We developed the CAPES program to address this problem by providing other opportunities to work towards Paragon’s mission. Using our value system, our full-time employees have avenues to make up for loss work.
