Job description

Full-time. On-site. Infant through Pre-K. New center opening soon in Atlee, Virginia.

We are opening a brand new Kiddie Academy in Atlee, Virginia, and looking for our opening Director. If you have led a center before and thought, “I wish I could do this from scratch, my way, with the right support,” this is that role.

Why this role is different

You are not inheriting a building, you are starting one. The classrooms, the team, the family experience, the culture - all of it starts with you. The owner is engaged and accessible, not absentee. You get the autonomy to lead, and a partner to lean on when you need one.

This is also not a stepping-stone role. We want someone who wants to plant roots, open this center well, and grow with us.

What the first few months look like

• Help finalize hiring across infant, toddler, preschool, and Pre-K classrooms

• A real say in who joins this team and how the building feels to walk into

• Get the building, licensing, and operations ready for inspection and opening day

• Lead pre-enrollment tours and convert early interest into committed families

• Set up the systems: scheduling, ratios, classroom routines, parent communication

• Partner with the owner on the opening plan, marketing, and community outreach

Once we are open

• Be visible in every classroom, every day, so children, teachers, and parents know who is leading the building

• Coach teachers in the moment, not just at annual reviews

• Run tours, grow enrollment, build a waitlist

• Handle the parent conversations that need a Director’s touch

• Keep licensing, health, and safety files audit-ready

• Own the operational rhythm: staffing, budgets, enrollment reporting, ratios

What we need from you

• Prior Director or Assistant Director experience in a licensed childcare center

• Working knowledge of Virginia Department of Education child care licensing for infant through Pre-K

• Bachelor’s in ECE or a related field, or equivalent experience plus credential

• Comfort with the operational side: scheduling, budgets, enrollment, ratios

• The composure to handle a tough parent moment or a last-minute staffing gap without it rattling you

• Real excitement about opening a center from scratch

What we offer

• Competitive base plus performance bonus tied to enrollment, retention, and operations

• Room to grow with us as we expand

• Paid CDA and ECE continuing education

• 401(k)

• Childcare tuition discount for your own children

• Paid time off and holidays

How to apply

Send your resume and a cover letter. In the cover letter, tell us why opening a new center excites you, or share a team or center you built up from a tough starting point. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
