About the Opportunity

Riverhouse Children’s Center is a thriving, mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to nurturing and educating children from six weeks to five years old. Serving up to 72 children across six classrooms, Riverhouse has been a trusted part of the Durango community for over 20 years.

This is a unique opportunity for a passionate and experienced leader to make a lasting impact during the most critical years of child development.
