  • Fayetteville, NC, USA

Your role

  • As an Assistant Director at Child Development Schools, you will help lead a center where children thrive, families feel at home, and educators are set up to do their best work every day. You will partner closely with the Center Director to manage daily operations, support your teaching team, and keep the center running smoothly, safely, and in full compliance.
  • This is a role for someone ready to step into real leadership -- someone who is organized, people-focused, and motivated to grow. If your goal is to run a center of your own, this is the right starting point.

Essential functions

Operational stability: Manage staff schedules, ensure proper classroom ratios, coordinate coverage, and keep the center running smoothly on a day-to-day basis

Classroom monitoring and quality oversight: Conduct regular classroom walkthroughs, provide real-time coaching and corrections to staff, and ensure program quality standards are upheld

Administrative and compliance execution: Maintain accurate , up-to-date child and staff files; complete required compliance and corporate reporting; manage USDA and agency paperwork as applicable

Documentation: Prepare daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly compliance and corporate reporting documents

Parent communication and experience: Handle routine parent communication, conduct school tours for prospective families, and escalate complex concerns to the Director

Staff onboarding, coaching, and accountability: Support onboarding of new hires, assist with day-to-day staff coaching, enforce policies consistently, and provide supervisory coverage in the Director's absence

Opening and/or closing the center as assigned

Assistant Directors at CDS have real ownership and authority. You can independently make decisions on:

Daily staffing and coverage adjustments

Classroom-level corrections and coaching

Routine parent communication

Policy enforcement within established guidelines

Compliance with current standards

Supply orders within an approved budget

Immediate problem-solving during operations

Major parent or staff complaints and inquiries are escalated to the Director

Pay and benefits

  • Pay: $40,000 (based on experience and education)
  • Full-time employees receive:
  • Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and short- and long-term disability
  • 401(k)
  • 9 company-paid holidays and 8 days of PTO
  • 50% tuition discount for your own children enrolled at a CDS center
  • Up to $5,250 in annual tuition reimbursement for continued education
  • Access to PerkSpot for discounts on major brands and services
  • ASPIRE -- Director in Training: Assistant Directors have access to our ASPIRE program, a 3-month leadership development initiative focused on business operations, customer service, and people management. It is designed to build the skills and confidence needed to run a center independently.

Requirements
