  • Share and implement best practices related to hiring, onboarding, staff retention, compliance, and communication.
  • Proactively address performance issues and lead tough conversations when needed to maintain team standards.
  • Partner with center leadership to build strong team morale and reduce staff turnover through meaningful recognition and growth opportunities.

  • Hold locations to the highest standards of health, safety, and licensing compliance-taking swift action to address risks or violations.
  • Conduct regular walkthroughs and audits to ensure environments are safe, clean, and aligned with Tierra standards.
  • Collaborate with the District Manager to roll out new initiatives, support licensing visits, and drive operational consistency.
  • Monitor and improve key performance indicators including financial performance, staff engagement, enrollment, and parent satisfaction.
