Provide instructional feedback and teacher support in collaboration with the Assistant Director.

Family & Community Engagement

Maintain open, transparent, and proactive communication with families regarding school updates, policies, classroom activities, and child progress.

Communicate effectively with families both verbally and in writing; ensure timely, respectful responses to concerns.

Organize, promote, and attend family engagement initiatives and events (some events may occur outside regular hours).

Serve as a primary liaison between families and management to ensure inclusive decision-making and responsiveness.

Build relationships with community partners to support enrollment growth and SELA’s reputation.

Licensing, Compliance & Safety

Maintain full compliance with Massachusetts EEC licensing standards, internal policies, and required documentation.

Monitor health and safety systems, emergency procedures, drills, mandatory reporting requirements, and recordkeeping practices.

Ensure classroom and school-wide preparedness for inspections, drills, audits, and compliance reviews.

Operational & Financial Oversight

Supervise the Assistant Director, teachers, and health team roles as applicable; ensure timely, accurate completion of administrative tasks, enrollment tracking, reporting, and family communications.

Create and maintain annual and ongoing staffing schedules to ensure daily operations function smoothly.

Track time-off and payroll-related inputs and provide required reports to HR for payroll processing.

Ensure ratios and staffing schedules are maintained; step into a classroom or support opening/closing the school if required.

Maintain secure, organized digital recordkeeping for staff and children in compliance with licensing and privacy requirements.

Review monthly financial reports prepared by the Assistant Director and provide high-level summaries on finances, enrollment, staffing, and operations.

Approve vendor contracts and major purchases; oversee inventory and operational purchasing controls.

Participate in cross-functional planning with Health, Admissions, Curriculum, HR, and the CEO to ensure consistent SELA standards and smooth operations.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree required in Early Childhood Education, Special Needs Education, Psychology, or a closely related field.

A master’s degree is strongly preferred.

Strong knowledge of early childhood developmental milestones (ages 3 months–5 years), curriculum implementation, and classroom quality standards.

Demonstrated ability to lead teams, build systems, and drive accountability with professionalism.

Comfort with early education technology/apps for communication, documentation, and classroom support.

Preferred Qualifications

Bilingual in any language preferred.

Exposure to additional languages and cultures (e.g., living abroad, formal language study, or immersion experiences) preferred.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter describing your leadership approach, your experience with children ages 3 months–5 years, and how you coach teachers and build strong school culture.
