Battle Ground Academy (BGA) currently seeks an Assistant Head of the Early Learning Center to join our team. Located in Franklin, Tennessee, BGA is a co-educational, independent day school serving Pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.


The Assistant Head of the Early Learning Center plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining high-quality teaching and learning practices across the early childhood program. This role is grounded in a deep belief in the transformative power of play-based, whole-child early childhood education.

  • Support teachers in creating classroom environments that foster belonging, spark curiosity, and invite deep engagement
  • Help teachers translate play-based experiences into clear developmental outcomes
  • Support consistency in routines, expectations, and shared language across the program, including our three foundational expectations: be safe, be kind, be helpful
  • Provide in-the-moment support during challenging instructional or behavioral moments

  • Partner with teachers to share children's development with families in ways that are clear, strengths-based, and reflective of our play-based/whole-child approach
  • Partner with the Head of ELC to communicate developmental observations to families with clarity, professionalism, and care

Program Development and Alignment

  • Work alongside the Head of ELC to ensure that daily classroom practice reflects the values and vision of the program
  • Contribute to ongoing reflection, planning, and program growth
  • Help tell the story of the Early Learning Center through classrooms, relationships, and child-led co-creations

Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor's degree required; coursework or degrees in Early Childhood Education/Educational Leadership preferred. Master's degree preferred.
  • Character & Demeanor: Highly relational and collaborative problem solver with a positive, proactive approach. Mature, flexible, sensitive, calm under pressure, possessing a sense of humor, empathetic, diplomatic, self-motivated, and amiable.
  • Mission Alignment: Commitment to expanding and retaining students, families, faculty, and staff to reflect the diversity of Williamson County and beyond.
  • Professionalism: High standards of conduct, collegiality, punctuality, and reliability. Deadline-oriented and compliant with handbook conditions.
  • Growth Mindset: Active participation in in-service activities and ongoing professional development.
  • Teamwork: Exceptional team player who thrives in a small-school environment where agility and a "can-do" attitude are paramount.
