Preschool Assistant Director

Come work in a child care center that supports not only the children in our care but also our staff, whether they are seeking a career with us or elsewhere.

As an Assistant Director with the Early Learning Centers, you’ll be part of a team supporting teachers for children aged 6 weeks to five years. You will have the opportunity to focus on the positive and on the success of the team by:

• providing excellent customer service for parents, staff, members, and guests;

• managing records and data for the site, including computerized enrollments, student tracking, and billing;

• and supervising the site's openers and closers.

We will need some qualifications from you, including:

• A high school diploma or GED,
• six months of experience working with children, ideally at-risk children or children of trauma,
• and either a Toddler or Pre-K Child Development Associate (CDA), or ability and willingness to obtain one within six months of hire, or 8 college credits in Early Childhood Education.

In exchange, our centers offer extensive benefits:

• We offer all full time employees 100% employer-paid medical, vision, and dental plans. All full time employees also receive complimentary Short Term Disability, Long Term Disability, and Life Insurance coverage.
• When we say we nurture great connections and build great futures, we don’t just mean for the students; as a member of our ELC team, you’ll strengthen your future as well through annual tuition reimbursement, the TEACH program, assistance with getting a CDA, and a 7% pension plan.
• Pay starts at $18/hour.

These are some of the additional things you will do as an Assistant Director with our child care centers:

• Dispense and record medication and keep the allergy log up to date.
• Develop a comprehensive understanding of Conscious Discipline and the Pyramid Model for Social and Emotional Learning.
• Staff classrooms as needed.
• Exemplify teamwork by being first to respond to codes whenever possible.
• Maintain the safety of our children and staff, and ensure an optimal experience for all.

This is what your day could look like as an Assistant Director with our child care centers:

• This role is a full time role, and it requires you to be on-site from 8:30am to 5:30pm to address parent and staff needs.
• Our students range from 6 weeks to 5 years and are generally grouped into six age-based classes; Assistant Directors are expected, however, to be able to support families and staff for all age groups.
