Qualifications:
  • Must pass required state and company background checks.
  • Must have Director Certification (DII qualification).
  • 3-10 years of experience in early childhood education or classroom management.
  • Strong understanding of play-based learning and social-emotional development.
  • Demonstrated commitment to kindness, respect, and community engagement.
