Assistant Director- Mt. Lebanon Pennsylvania

If you’re passionate about making a meaningful impact—and ready to grow your leadership career in early childhood education—this may be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

As an Assistant Center Director, you’ll play a vital role in helping lead our center forward. With KinderCare’s world-class curriculum, nationally recognized accreditation process, and dedicated teaching teams, you’ll partner closely with the Center Director to build a thriving, high-quality learning environment. Together, you’ll help shape the future—one child, one family, and one achievement at a time.

This is more than a role. It’s a career pathway for educators ready to grow into confident, purpose-driven leaders.

What You’ll Do

In this leadership role, you’ll support the day-to-day success of the center while continuing to build your own leadership skills:

• Partner with the Center Director to lead and support teaching staff, families, and center operations
• Help achieve goals around enrollment, accreditation, quality, and engagement
• Build strong, trusting relationships with families, teachers, licensing authorities, and community partners
• Step in where needed to support the center—including classroom support, food service, or transportation
• Champion the value of early childhood education and bring it to life for children, families, and staff

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for motivated leaders who are ready to grow:

• At least 2 years of experience in early childhood education
• Strong understanding of developmentally appropriate practices
• Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills
• CPR and First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain)
• Ability to meet state-specific requirements for the role
• Physical ability to lift up to 40 pounds, work indoors/outdoors, and actively engage with children
• Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English
• A commitment to creating a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment for all children

(Reasonable accommodations are available to support you in performing the essential functions of the role.)

Benefits That Grow With You

We know growth doesn’t happen in isolation—so our benefits are designed to support your whole life:

• Discounted child care so your family is supported, too
• Medical, dental, vision, and pet insurance options
• Mental health and employee assistance programs
• Paid time off, wellness programs, and everyday discounts
