Fulfilling Impact: Be the driving force behind children hitting key developmental milestones and unlocking their full potential.

What You’ll Do

Lead an Inspiring Classroom: Design and maintain a safe, vibrant, and nurturing environment where children grow socially, emotionally, and cognitively.
Bring Learning to Life: Plan and deliver hands-on, play-based curriculum that sparks wonder, creativity, and school readiness.
Mentor & Empower Your Team: Support, guide, and collaborate with Assistant Teachers to model best practices and foster a positive team dynamic.
Partner with Families: Build strong, trust-based relationships with parents through open communication and celebratory progress updates.
Ensure Standards of Excellence: Maintain proper staff-to-child ratios and uphold all Virginia state licensing, health, and safety regulations.

What We’re Looking For

Qualifications:

Prior experience working in early childhood education, preschool, or a childcare setting.
Proven leadership qualities or supervisory experience (preferred).
Strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
A heart for working with children, a collaborative mindset, and a commitment to excellence.

Bonus Points For:

CDA, Associate’s Degree, or Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education (or related field).
Knowledge of Virginia childcare licensing regulations.
Current CPR & First Aid Certification (or willingness to obtain within 30 days).
