Preschool Director

St. Timothy's Preschool seeks a Director with a passion for play-based early childhood development and strong communication skills. Our non-academic, emergent-curriculum program focuses on supporting children's social and emotional growth with bright, beautiful classrooms and significant outdoor space, including playground and garden. We love giving children the room to be children: to imagine, discover, and explore; and we're looking for the right candidate to uphold and strengthen this philosophy. We are a small, established, community preschool in Mountain View, CA caring for children two through five years old with a mixed-age preschool classroom and a twos classroom. Although we are on a church campus, this is not a religious preschool. Our community fosters values such as kindness, generosity, empathy, and care for the world around us. Diversity is celebrated and all backgrounds are welcome. We are looking for a warm, good natured, enthusiastic person who will oversee operations, supervise teachers, take an active role in the classroom, and promote the preschool to the wider community. We are willing to train the right candidate with relevant teaching experience to grow into this role, ensuring that our quality program remains strong. This is a full-time position (40 hours/week), with healthcare and retirement benefits available. The Director will ideally begin in the summer to prepare for the next academic year.

Qualifications:

Love of children. Passion for and understanding of child-led philosophy and play-based learning. Excellent communication skills. Organized, detail-oriented, ability to multitask. Comfort with Google suite, especially drive, docs, photos; and with social media. 4+ years teaching experience in a licensed childcare facility. Site supervisor permit (or meet the California Licensing requirements). AA in child development with 24 ECE units, 6 admin units, and 2 supervision units; or BA in child development with 3 supervision units. Must clear finger-printing background check, health screening, and TB test. Familiarity with the state licensing Title 22 requirements.

We offer:

An annual salary of $70,000 - $72,000, depending on experience. 4 weeks paid time off and paid legal holidays. Medical benefits, with contributions toward a medical plan (from available options). 5% contributions to a pension plan, plus matching the first 4% of employee contributions. Short- and long-term disability plans and group life insurance. A collaborative team and warm, community environment.
