Help implement CLH curriculum standards and Lighthouse Pathways® programming across all classrooms
Communicate proactively with families to ensure concerns are addressed and relationships are strong
Assist with staff hiring, orientation, and ongoing professional development

What We Are Looking For

Colorado Director Qualification or ability to obtain
Strong knowledge of Colorado childcare licensing requirements
Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and hold a team accountable
Excellent communication skills with families, staff, and leadership
Organized, dependable, and calm under pressure
A genuine passion for early childhood education and a commitment to children’s development

What We Offer

Competitive salary based on experience
A defined leadership path — this role is built for someone who wants to grow into a Director position
A beautiful facility in a premier Parker community
