The Learning ExperienceAt The Learning Experience, we make early education joyful, engaging and fun so children are happy to learn, play and grow.Our curriculum focuses on the six ages and stages of early childhood development and engages children in hands-on learning activities that encourage them to explore and solve problems at their own rate of development. This forms a foundation for kids to Learn, Play and Grow under the care of our nurturing teachers and staff.At TLE®, we've created a full cast of characters that become our little learners' educators, partners and friends through their preschool education journey. Each character has a unique personality and area of interest and brings learning to life by allowing children to explore the world through fun and imagination.BenefitsCompetitive salary, free uniforms, opportunity for advancement, paid time off, training & development.Role ResponsibilitiesBusiness Operations And People Leadership:Drives financial performance and productivity for all operational aspects of the centerEffectively analyzes and reconciles monthly P&L statements; creates action plans based on past performance and forecasted occupancyHires outstanding talent and ensures center is fully staffed with high performing teachersEffectively manages labor; approves all final work schedules to ensure appropriate ratios are always intactForecasts future enrollment based on annual graduationProcesses payroll, ensuring the accuracy of timekeeping systemsManages center inventory- office supplies, food, curriculum, staff recognition items, etc.Manages all vendor relationships- organizes facilities maintenance and technology supportEnsures parent billings, account receivables and collections are accurate and preciseIn partnership with Center Director, conducts team meetings to communicate important information and set a directionCustomer Engagement:Executes marketing brand campaigns within the center and implements local marketing activities.Oversees Work and Family program- building new relationships with community and business leaders (Housing Communities, Chamber of Commerce, Local Businesses)Effectively uses social media channels for parent engagement and retentionNurtures leads through scheduling and conducting tours; follows up with potential families to secure enrollment.Leads tours, highlighting key features of our brand and the center and maintains strong connections with potential customersHas a strong understanding of the childcare offerings within the communityMaintains the lead tracking portal and customer databaseCoordinates the registration process and maintains customer and employee information in center systemsResponsible for communications to families (i.e. billing, newsletters)Plans and manages budget for "parent pleasers"Qualifications3+ years' experience in retail/store management - cross-industry experience is welcomeDemonstrated leadership ability with a minimum of 2+ years of experience in a customer-facing sales settingAbility to leverage data to understand the business and make decisionsBachelor's degree preferredCompensation: $20.00 - $22.00 per hour
