Why This Role Matters

Assistant Center Directors at The Learning Experience are operational leaders — not glorified schedulers. You are the right hand to the Center Director and the go-to leader for teachers. This role blends people leadership, curriculum support, and day-to-day operations to ensure a high-quality experience for children, families, and staff.

  • Coach, mentor, and develop Lead Teachers to strengthen performance and retention
  • Ensure strong, consistent implementation of the L.E.A.P. Curriculum® across classrooms
  • Maintain compliance with NYS OCFS licensing, health, and safety requirements
  • Partner with teachers to support positive family communication and engagement
  • Step in to problem-solve staffing, classroom, or parent concerns quickly and professionally
  • Help build a positive, accountable, team-first culture

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in a licensed childcare, preschool, or early learning center
  • Proven leadership — you've supported or led teams, not just classrooms
  • Strong knowledge of early childhood development and best practices
  • Organized, calm under pressure, and comfortable multitasking
  • Confident communicator with both staff and families
  • Meets New York State OCFS requirements for an Assistant Director role
  • Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education or related field Preferred (Not Required)

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary aligned to the Poughkeepsie market
  • Training and professional development
  • Career path to Center Director
  • Supportive leadership team and positive work culture
  • Employee childcare discount (where applicable)
  • Weekday schedule in a mission-driven environment
