This is more than an administrative role. We're looking for a collaborative leader who enjoys supporting teachers, building relationships with families, solving problems, and helping shape the future of a growing early learning program.


The ideal candidate understands that quality early childhood education requires flexibility, teamwork, and a willingness to jump in where needed. If you are passionate about children, committed to supporting educators, and excited by the opportunity to help build something meaningful, we'd love to meet you.

  • Experience in early childhood education and a strong understanding of child development and developmentally appropriate practice
