Director of Early Childhood Education (ECE)
About the Opportunity:
Being an ECE Director has been aptly compared to the wonderful children's picture book Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina. This story, based on a folktale, tells the story of a peddler who keeps adding caps to his head until he wears a whole stack of them. If each cap is a role, an ECE Director needs to wear many different roles at once. But the various roles all support the same goal: create, develop and maintain an environment in which children thrive, staff are engaged and families are supported. And while ECE teachers directly impact children's experiences, as Director you impact children's development outcomes by structuring the conditions that support teacher effectiveness. Virtually everything you do in your leadership role directly or indirectly influences the reputation and success of the program.

Work Environment:
Every day is different but also similar. Physical requirements of the position include the ability to lift, twist, bend, reach, kneel and crouch; to use typical office equipment including a computer, phone, 2-way radio, copier, laminator. While most work occurs indoors some days you take it outside to visit the playgrounds, aquatic park and garden.
