Job Description

Administrative Assistant — Lightbridge Academy

About Us At Lightbridge Academy, we are "The Solution for Working Families" — a high-quality early childhood education center where laughter, learning, and "a-ha moments" fill every day. Built on our Circle of Care, our nurturing culture isn't just for the children in our care — it extends to every family and team member in our community. Behind every great center is a great administrator, and we're looking for an experienced, organized, people-first leader to help keep ours running beautifully.

The Opportunity As our Administrative Manager, you'll be the operational backbone of the center — the person families turn to, teachers rely on, and the director trusts to keep everything moving. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on organization, loves working with families, and takes pride in a well-run center. We're expanding rapidly, so this role carries strong growth potential for the right person ready to grow with us. Full-time position.

What You'll Do

• Manage enrollment, tour prospective families, and serve as a warm first point of contact
• Respond to parent and prospective-parent inquiries by phone and email with kindness and professionalism
• Maintain accurate student files, including health and immunization records
• Monitor and maintain proper classroom ratios
• Coordinate smooth student transitions into new classrooms
• Oversee medication tracking and lead safety drills
• Support the center's social media, website, and online presence
• Assist the director with hiring, scheduling, billing support, and other operational duties
• Help foster a positive, supportive culture for staff and families alike

Qualifications

• 1+ year of experience as an Assistant Director, Administrator, Office Manager, or similar administrative role in a licensed childcare center or preschool (required)
• Strong organization, communication, and multitasking skills
• Warm, professional manner with families and staff
• Comfort with technology, recordkeeping, and digital tools
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education or a related field preferred but not required
• Teaching or classroom experience in a licensed setting is a plus

Does This Describe You?

• You're the person who keeps everything (and everyone) on track
• You greet every family like they belong here
• You have an "I've got this" attitude
• You stay calm, kind, and organized even on the busy days
• You take pride in a center that runs smoothly

What We Offer

• Competitive annual salary ($42,000–$52,000, based on experience)
• Strong growth potential as we expand rapidly
• Health insurance and health savings account
• 401(k) and retirement plan with matching
• Generous paid time off, parental leave, and sick days
• Tuition reimbursement and professional development
• Paid certifications (including CPR/First Aid)
• Clear career advancement path
• Employee mentoring with hands-on training and support
• Employee assistance program
• Childcare discount for your own family
• Referral program and bonus incentives
• A safe, healthy environment with an advanced air purification system
