Full Job Description

JCC MetroWest, West Orange, NJ 07052 – Full Time 40 hours, Exempt

Position Summary: 

Cultivate young minds. Engage families. Inspire teachers. Join a dynamic team dedicated to fostering a love of learning in young children within a fast-paced, warm, and welcoming Early Childhood Center (ECC). This role is a key leadership position responsible for helping create a nurturing, responsive environment where children, families, and staff thrive, and where Jewish values and traditions are an important foundation.

The Associate Director provides day-to-day oversight of the private preschool, private Pre-K, and public Pre-K programs, with close attention to detail and follow-through. In partnership with a supportive administrative team, this role oversees parent communication, staffing, coaching, and the overall experience for students, families, and teachers.

Lead with vision and compassion. The Associate Director partners in shaping and sustaining the school’s educational philosophy across: (1) private ECC classrooms that spark curiosity and engage children in emergent, schematic, and project-based learning while highlighting Jewish holidays, traditions, and values; and (2) public Pre-K classrooms where teaching teams follow the HighScope curriculum, with training provided. This role supports staff in meeting the needs of young learners while ensuring compliance with licensing requirements, developmentally appropriate practice, positive guidance, and reflective teaching processes.

Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance; paid time off; a retirement savings plan; employee discounts; and a free gym membership.

Support public Pre-K staff with HighScope curriculum implementation, assessments, and materials, and ensure compliance with requirements of the West Orange Board of Education.
Serve as the primary point of contact for the West Orange Board of Education and oversee public Pre-K after-school participation and schedules.
Keep the ECC Director informed of key developments, needs, and concerns.
Attend selected family events at the JCC outside of school hours.
Maintain daily classroom ratio staffing and plan proactively for coverage.
Monitor posts on the ECC communication app.
Interview, train, and mentor new staff.
Participate in and support Grow NJ Kids and the New Jersey Child Care Information System (NJCCIS).
Maintain teacher assessment records and conduct check-in meetings as needed.
Oversee transition planning and operations for the summer program.
Follow up with prospective families as needed.
Attend weekly administrative meetings.
Maintain flexibility to open or close the ECC (Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m.) and availability for occasional evening and weekend meetings and events.

Other Responsibilities

Collaborate on teacher assignments and children’s placements.
Communicate, cooperate, and collaborate with other JCC departments.
Build positive relationships with children, families, colleagues, and community partners.
Cultivate an environment grounded in a strong image of children and families, recognizing each person’s unique strengths.
Promote an inclusive, judgment-free environment for individuals of all backgrounds and experiences, and address concerns with diplomacy and respect.
Identify and share opportunities for professional growth for yourself and others.
Maintain a positive and professional image of the ECC.
Serve as a trusted and responsive point of contact for parents.
Foster open communication across the school community.
Help maintain the preschool environment and office.
Assist staff with JCC systems as needed.
