We want someone who will treat the center as something they are helping build not simply a place where they work. Success in This Position During the first several months, success will be measured by establishing consistent center operations, maintaining licensing compliance, building a dependable staff, increasing enrollment, strengthening family relationships, and creating a clear plan for sustainable growth.
