Education Coordinator/Lead Teacher

Your role

As an Education Coordinator at Child Development Schools, you will serve as a coach, resource, and advocate for the educators across your assigned centers. Your work directly shapes the quality of education that over 30,000 children receive every day. You will spend your time in classrooms -- observing, coaching, and collaborating with teachers to strengthen their practice and improve outcomes for children and families.

This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable delivering feedback to a new teacher and presenting to a leadership team -- someone who is passionate about early childhood education and motivated by the growth and development of the people around them.

• Attend monthly Education Coordinator calls or review recordings to stay current on company goals, educational requirements, and best practices

• Foster a welcoming environment for children, families, and teachers that contributes to center morale and community engagement
