Assistant Director, Childcare Center

Assistant Director & Enrollment Specialist

Location: Avimor, Idaho

Avimor Academy is seeking a confident, organized, relationship-driven leader to serve as our Assistant Director & Enrollment Specialist.

This is a dual leadership role that blends operational oversight with full ownership of the enrollment lifecycle — from first inquiry to successful onboarding.

If you love building relationships, leading with professionalism, and ensuring families feel welcomed and confident in their childcare decision, this role is for you.

About the Role

The Assistant Director & Enrollment Specialist:

• Owns the full inquiry-to-enrollment process
• Delivers exceptional tours and first impressions
• Manages enrollment pacing and waitlists
• Supports daily school operations and staffing coverage
• Partners closely with the Director on strategy and capacity planning

This is not a passive administrative role. It requires leadership presence, warmth, organization, and follow-through.

Primary Responsibilities: Enrollment & Family Experience (Primary Focus)

• Serve as the primary contact for prospective families
• Respond promptly to inquiries (phone, email, website, Playground)
• Schedule and conduct engaging school tours
• Guide families through enrollment, documentation, and onboarding
• Maintain accurate enrollment records and compliance documentation
• Track and report enrollment metrics (inquiries, tours, conversions)
• Manage waitlists and classroom placements proactively

Operational Leadership Support

• Support classroom ratios, transitions, and staffing continuity
• Step into leadership coverage when the Director is unavailable
• Assist with compliance, health, and safety oversight
• Collaborate on scheduling and capacity planning
• Model Avimor Academy’s values and professional standards

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years of early childhood or related experience
• Demonstrated leadership, mentoring, or instructional support experience
• Associate/Bachelor’s degree, CDA, Teaching Certificate or equivalent progressive experience
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Highly organized with strong follow-through
• Comfortable guiding enrollment conversations with professionalism and confidence
• Proficient with digital systems (Playground or CRM experience preferred)
• Knowledge of childcare licensing requirements preferred

This role requires someone who is sales-minded but not sales-driven — family trust always comes first.

Schedule

Full-time, typically Monday–Friday (7:00am–4:00pm range).
Occasional extended hours or special events as needed.
