- Active ListeningExcellent communicators actively listen. Teachers and parents need to feel a preschool director truly hears what they're saying.
- CompassionPreschool directors deal with a vulnerable population. Parents and students may be particularly sensitive as they begin their journey into the new experience of school. As such, preschool directors should be able to demonstrate compassion and concern.
- Critical ThinkingMaking effective decisions about the various academic and business components of a preschool calls for excellent analytical and critical thinking skills.
- Interpersonal RelationsTo effectively run a school, preschool directors need to develop relationships with teachers, parents, and children. This requires the ability to build trust and a sense of partnership with others.
- OrganizationSchools are busy places with many moving parts. Preschool directors need to keep excellent records about children and teachers. They also need to be able to multitask, giving attention to several people and situations at once.
- Problem-Solving Managing an entire school inevitably means addressing problems, which might involve the budget, concerns from parents, or issues with teachers. Preschool directors need to approach problems thoughtfully and with a level head to find effective solutions.
