  • Compliance & Safety: Maintain all relevant DCF licensing and regulatory requirements. Ensure staff training and student records are audit-ready at all times.

  • Operations & Budgeting: Manage daily schedules, student attendance, and program resources effectively within the established budget.

  • Family Engagement: Serve as the primary point of contact for families after 3:30 PM, fostering trust and providing clear communication regarding student progress or behavior.

  • Strategic Growth: Prepare for the 2026-2027 school year by scaling program offerings to meet the needs of our expanding Pre-K-8 student body.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Certification: DCF 45-Hour Introductory Childcare Training (Required); DCF Director Credential (Strongly Preferred).

  • Experience: At least 3 years of experience managing or coordinating youth programs, preferably in an educational setting.

  • Safety: Current CPR and First Aid certification.

  • Leadership: Proven ability to supervise a team, manage conflicts, and solve logistical problems (scheduling, staffing, etc.) in real-time.

  • Communication: Professional verbal and written communication skills suitable for parent and administrative interactions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Education: Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Education, Child Development, or a related field.

  • Bilingualism: Proficiency in Spanish to support our dual-language community.
