Ability to remain calm, professional, and solution-focused in challenging situations.
Dependable attendance, punctuality, and consistent follow-through.
Availability to work Monday–Friday, including opening or closing responsibilities.
Ability to meet applicable Pennsylvania childcare employment and background-check requirements.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience as an Assistant Director, Director, Education Coordinator, or Lead Teacher.
Experience managing staff schedules, classroom coverage, and daily operations.
Early Childhood Education degree, CDA, or related credentials.
What You'll Do:
Support the Director with the daily operation of the school.
Guide, encourage, and coach teachers to maintain high classroom standards.
Assist with staff scheduling, classroom coverage, breaks, and transitions.
Help ensure compliance with Pennsylvania childcare licensing requirements.
Build positive relationships and communicate professionally with families.
Assist with enrollment, school tours, and family concerns.
Support curriculum implementation and classroom quality.

Assist in classrooms and with closing responsibilities as needed.
Help maintain a positive, accountable, and supportive team environment.
Why Join Our Team?
At The Goddard School of Blue Bell, we believe strong leadership makes a difference for everyone, children, families, and teachers.
What Makes Someone Successful Here?
Our strongest leaders notice what needs to be done and take action. They communicate openly, support their team, follow through on commitments, and understand that no responsibility is beneath them.
If you have the experience, initiative, and dedication to help lead a high-quality early childhood education program, we encourage you to apply.
