About the Role & Single-Site Stability

We have established a strategic partnership with an elite, recognized leader in community daycare and preschool education.
As our Lead BCBA, you will step onto the ground floor of this collaboration, directly integrating specialized ABA services into centralized early childhood educational environments.

- Competitive Compensation: Base salary starting at $88,000 with customized mileage reimbursement and comprehensive benefits package.
- Ground-Floor Impact: Directly influence the framework, design, and deployment of a brand-new, school-based early intervention model.
