Preschool Director

Come work in a BRAND NEW child care center that supports staff just as much as children, building the site's culture from the ground up.

As a 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:

• and managing the site's reputation and budget.

We will need some qualifications from you, including:

• dual-CDAs or an Associate's or higher in ECE, Child Development, or related field;
• one year of experience working with children, ideally at-risk children or children of trauma, or equivalent additional education;
• and one year of experience in an administrative position.

If you have any of the following, you are especially qualified for this role:

• experience managing employees;
• training in or experience with Conscious Discipline;
• experience with Brightwheel;
• experience with Paycom;
• knowledge of Nevada child care licensing;
• knowledge of NAEYC requirements.

In exchange, our center offers 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 and a 7% pension plan.

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

• Ensure all children receive quality care and instruction, including performing observations, ensuring behavior plans are followed, and resourcing intervention as necessary.
• Provide exemplary customer service to parents, including de-escalating concerns as needed.
• Manage all licensing and reporting requirements.
• Manage staff conflicts with HR support.
• Staff classrooms and respond to radio calls.
• Ensure safety and cleanliness of facility.
• Prepare and provide regular reports, including grant reports for CACFP and NV Ready Pre-K Program.

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

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