• Partner with families by listening, communicating, solving problems, and celebrating successes.
• Create a place people love by keeping your center welcoming, safe, engaging, and full of positive energy.
• Be a problem solver who can stay calm, think creatively, and find solutions.
• Have FUN! Bring your personality, creativity, and passion to work every day.

You are someone who:

• Loves working with people and building relationships.
• Can walk into a busy day and say, “Okay, we’ve got this!”
• Is organized but flexible enough to roll with the unexpected.
• Believes teachers do their best work when they feel supported and valued.
• Can have a serious conversation when needed—and laugh with your team five minutes later.
• Is confident making decisions and taking ownership.
• Loves celebrating the little wins.
• Is creative, curious, and always looking for ways to make things better.
• Has a genuine passion for early childhood education.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, or a related field preferred; Associate’s Degree considered with relevant experience.
• Previous early childhood experience, preferably in a leadership or administrative role.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
