You take initiative, think ahead, and show up with solutions instead of excuses.

You have been in the classroom yourself, so you lead with credibility. You communicate clearly in person and in writing, you are comfortable greeting and touring prospective families, and you know that excellent customer service is part of excellent education.

• Help plan and facilitate staff trainings and professional development


• Step into classrooms as needed to maintain ratios and support scholars


• Communicate policies clearly and consistently to staff and families


• Meet with families and staff to discuss scholar progress


• Contribute to family newsletters and campus communications


• Give tours and build relationships that attract new families to SAGE PREP


• Ensure facilities and materials are clean, safe, and maintained to state and center standards

What You Bring

Required

• Child Development Associate (CDA) credential


• A genuine love for children


• Flexibility and a willingness to step in wherever needed


• Prior classroom teaching experience


• Strong understanding of child development and preschool educational methods


• Familiarity with safety and sanitation guidelines for early learning settings


• Excellent communication, coaching, and customer service skills


• Ability to partner with families and community members for the benefit of every scholar

Preferred

• Completion of 40 hours of director’s training


• Bachelor’s degree in education, Early Childhood Education, or a related field


• Leadership or supervisory experience


• Experience in a Quality Rated program


• Experience in a CACFP setting
