Full Job Description

Are you an experienced early childhood leader who is passionate about developing teams, supporting families, and creating high quality learning environments where children can thrive?

Refugee Women's Alliance (ReWA) is seeking an Early Learning Center Site Director to lead one of our culturally and linguistically diverse early learning centers in the Seattle area. This is an opportunity to lead a mission driven team while serving children and families representing more than 70 countries, where every classroom intentionally supports dual language learning and multilingual development.

At ReWA, every classroom incorporates a second language as part of children's daily learning experience. We welcome leaders who value multilingualism and culturally responsive education.

Bilingual or multilingual candidates are strongly encouraged to apply, although proficiency in another language is not required.

Key Details:

Pay: $80,000-$115,000 annually, depending on qualifications and experience
Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, retirement benefits, generous paid time off, and professional development opportunities
Location: North Seattle, WA. ReWA is currently hiring Early Learning Center Site Directors for our North Seattle locations, including The Nook at North Haven in Northgate and Lake City. These centers serve children from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and offer a mix of preschool and, in some locations, infant and toddler programming. Placement will be based on organizational needs and candidate preference whenever possible.
Schedule: Full time, onsite leadership position supporting children, families, and staff. Early Learning Centers currently operate Monday through Friday, generally between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Site Director schedules are aligned with center operations and program needs.

Who we are: For more than 40 years, Refugee Women's Alliance (ReWA) has empowered refugee and immigrant families through culturally and linguistically responsive services. While our early learning programs provide high quality education for young children, ReWA also supports families through workforce development, employment services, behavioral health, youth programs, housing stabilization, domestic violence advocacy, legal services, interpretation and translation, and family support services.

Our early learning centers are part of a much larger network of support designed to help entire families achieve long term stability and success.
