Director of Early Education and Child Care

Morning Star Academy is seeking an experienced Director of Early Education & Childcare to provide spiritual, educational, and operational leadership for our early childhood and extended care programs.

This position oversees Infants through Transition, as well as before- and after-school care, school-break programs, and Summer Camp. The Director works closely with the Executive Director and is responsible for developing staff, ensuring program quality, maintaining licensing and quality standards, and creating a Christ-centered environment where children, families, and employees thrive.

This is not an entry-level director position. We are looking for an experienced childcare leader who is ready to take ownership of a growing program.

Candidates must:

Experience with Texas Rising Star, accreditation, and early childhood quality-improvement systems is strongly preferred.

We need someone who takes ownership. The right person sees what needs to be done, develops a plan, communicates clearly, follows through, and builds systems that help the entire team succeed.

This leader should be visible and hands-on, spending time in classrooms and with staff, children, and families—not managing exclusively from an office. They should be able to balance warmth and relationships with high expectations and accountability.

Above all, we are looking for someone who sees early childhood education as both important work and meaningful ministry.
