Early Childhood Director

This is a great opportunity to become a dynamic leader at Peachtree! We are the sister school to Peachtree Academy, the area's premier private school for Pre-K through 12th grade! The Center Director is responsible for ensuring the health, safety, and quality of education for all children within the center’s care. The school has about 90 full-time students and 26 additional students for afterschool enrichment each day. The center director will need very good administrative skills, know how to run an office effectively, and interact with parents at the school. The Director is accountable for the overall operational management, including curriculum development and staff and facilities management. The use of Procare or a similar software for billing would make for a very easy transition. The Center Director ensures that the needs of the students and the center's goals are met appropriately. The ideal candidate enjoys working with people and is passionate about the importance of a great education in a child's life. The Director works closely with the Admissions team at the Private school and our other early learning centers to ensure that our strongest students move to the next level academically for private school and stay with the Peachtree program!
