We are seeking a driven, highly organized, and inspiring Assistant Director to partner with our awesome Center Director in leading a high quality preschool program.

We are looking for someone who brings positive, energetic leadership while also commanding respect through consistency, professionalism, and strong follow through. The ideal candidate is not only responsive but proactive, someone who anticipates needs, plans ahead, and ensures the school is set up for success rather than simply reacting to day to day challenges.

This role directly influences the growth and development of both children and teachers, helping create a culture of collaboration, accountability, and excellence. Our motto is “Happy Happens Here,” and we are looking for a leader who brings that energy to life every single day.

Support execution of center events, family engagement initiatives, and communication programs

What We Are Looking For

A confident, steady leader with strong presence and the ability to inspire trust and respect

Highly organized and forward thinking, plans ahead to set the school up for success, not just respond to daily needs

Strong emotional intelligence with the ability to balance warmth and accountability

Proven ability to lead teams, influence performance, and drive results
