Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment? Are you ready to grow your experience as a leader in education? In the coming weeks and months, we are excited to build an incredible community at our brand new Goddard School in Spring House! To assist with the development of our new school we are looking to hire a Director and an Assistant Director. Our Directors will be central to the hiring and onboarding of our faculty, will assist with licensing and training, and will help us build a positive and nurturing culture. The leadership team will also consist of local onsite owners who have a proven track record of supporting the development of their faculty at other Goddard Schools in Pennsylvania.
Our school will provide a safe environment for children aged 6 weeks - 5 years to learn and grow following The Goddard School programs and philosophies for learning. Central to this approach is that children learn best through play and we will be excited to implement a brand-new curriculum called Wonders of Learning at The Goddard School in Spring House. The Directors will be responsible for daily management of the school, including Human Resources, Parent Communications, Curriculum Implementation, Touring Prospective Families, Achieving Goddard Systems and State Requirements, and other tasks as delegated by the Franchisee. Directors should also be prepared to assist with all responsibilities of our Teachers including, but not limited to, supervising children, changing diapers and assisting with toileting, interacting closely with children at their developmental levels, and implementing all Health & Safety standards set by Goddard Systems and the State.
With a targeted opening date of Late Summer 2023, we would like our Directors to be available to begin as soon as possible to assist with the opening tasks of a new school, including state licensing, hiring, touring, and more. To maintain our Department of Education license, we are requiring that all Director candidates must have a Bachelors or Associates Degree in Education and at least one year of experience in the field. They should have management experience in a licensed childcare center to add additional expertise to the growth of our new school. We are looking for leaders who want the opportunity to grow within our organization as we anticipate additional growth in the coming years and want to invest in training our dedicated team members for future success.
During the interview process, we will share with you the details of our comprehensive and Competitive Salary and Bonus Opportunities, Medical and Dental Benefits, Personal Time Off and Paid Holidays, our 401(k) Plan with Employer Match, Short and Long Term Disability, Life Insurance, and many more.
