Back Office Responsibilities

The Preschool Director is also tasked with a number of necessary behind-the-scenes duties to keep the center running smoothly. She must constantly monitor the facility, ensuring that it is a safe and healthy place for children, and adhere to proper state codes. It’s also essential that she makes sure all children have proper paperwork on file.
