At Primrose School of Lake Norman, we want our teachers to feel supported, our families to feel connected, and our children to have a safe, happy place to learn. We’re looking for an Assistant Director who will take an active role in making that happen each day.


This position is a good fit for someone who enjoys working with people, communicates clearly, and can balance planned responsibilities with the unexpected needs of a busy preschool. You should be comfortable giving teachers guidance, following through on expectations, and stepping in wherever support is needed.


In this role, you will:

• Build strong relationships with teachers, children, and families.
  
  
• Support and mentor teachers through regular classroom involvement, feedback, and problem-solving.
  
  
• Help maintain a clean, safe, organized school and ensure health and safety expectations are followed consistently.
  
  
• Assist with daily operations, staffing, and classroom coverage.
  
  
• Learn the responsibilities of each position so you can provide practical support throughout the school.
  
  
• Assist with enrollment, family communication, and effective management of school resources.
  
  
• Create content for school newsletters, family communications, and social media that highlights classroom learning, school events, and our school community.
  
  
• Manage school operations in the Director’s absence.
  
  

What we’re looking for:

• At least five years of experience working in an early childhood center.
  
  
• An associate degree or higher in Early Childhood Education, or a willingness to obtain one.
  
  
• Strong communication and organizational skills.
  
  
• Someone who takes initiative, notices what needs attention, and follows through.
  
  
• A caring, approachable leader who can have direct conversations, provide clear guidance, and help teachers grow.
  
  

What we offer:

• Paid time off.
  
  
• Paid holidays, including Christmas break.
  
  
• Tuition assistance.
  
  
• Supplemental insurance options, including vision, dental, and short-term disability.
  
  
• A leadership team that works together and supports one another.
  
  
• Engaged, caring franchise owners.
  
  
• An established Balanced Learning® curriculum with digital resources to support teachers.
  
  
• A welcoming school community that values relationships and work-life balance.
  
  

If you’re ready to bring your early childhood experience into a role where you can support teachers, connect with families, and help lead our school, we’d love to hear from you. Please apply with your résumé.
