Child Care Center Assistant Director

Help Lead. Support Teachers. Serve Families. Make a Difference.

Are you ready to be part of a preschool that feels like family — but operates with professionalism and heart?

At Whiz Kidz Preschool, we believe in reaching new milestones through authentic learning, play experiences, and the arts. We are seeking a strong, experienced leader to support our Center Director and help guide daily operations with confidence, warmth, and integrity.

This role is perfect for someone who loves both children and organization — someone who can greet a parent with a smile, jump into a classroom when needed, and keep the front office running smoothly.

Our Core Values

We don’t just post these on a wall — we live them.

• Family First – Children and their parents are our highest priority.
• Community – We create environments where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
• Kindness – We lead with respect and compassion.
• Integrity – We do what’s right, always.
• Continuous Development – We innovate and grow to provide the best educational experience possible.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the Center Director to manage daily school operations.
• Ensure compliance with Arizona state licensing regulations.
• Support financial and enrollment goals in alignment with company guidelines.
• Greet families and provide exceptional customer service.
• Answer phones, schedule tours, and conduct school tours.
• Support teachers with curriculum planning and classroom execution.
• Step into classrooms for coverage as needed.
• Maintain confidentiality regarding children, families, and staff.
• Help foster a positive, team-oriented culture.
• Maintain accurate documentation and administrative records.

This is a hands-on leadership role — part administrator, part educator, part culture builder.

What You Bring

• Minimum 3 years of teaching experience in a licensed childcare facility (required for administrative roles).
• High School Diploma/GED required; college coursework in Early Childhood Education preferred.
• Current Arizona Driver’s License or State ID.
• DPS Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card.
• CPR & First Aid Certification.
• Maricopa County Food Handler’s Certificate.
• Ability to pass DCS Registry background check.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You are dependable and punctual.
• You communicate clearly and professionally.

• You are organized and detail-oriented.
• You can pivot quickly when needed.
• You genuinely love working with children and supporting teachers.
