Availability to work occasional evenings and weekends as business needs require.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in early childhood education, education, childcare, franchised operations, healthcare, hospitality, retail, or another multi-site service environment.
Experience with state licensing and regulatory compliance.
Montessori or accreditation experience is helpful but not required.

Why Join?

We believe great leaders deserve great support. They offer:

Competitive salary of $90,000–$115,000
Annual bonus opportunity based on company performance and key business metrics
Hybrid work flexibility
100% child care discount for Regional Leaders
