About The Position

At Victory Family Church, we believe the Next Generation is the heart of the church, and we’re looking for a Norman Early Childhood Director who shares that passion. This is a key leadership role where you’ll lead our birth-through-5-year ministries with a "steady hand" and a joyful spirit. We need a leader who is an anchor for our teams—someone who stays calm when things get busy, focuses on the big picture, and leads with a genuine, positive attitude that inspires others. Between overseeing the day-to-day operations of our nursery and preschool and building into our amazing volunteers, you’ll be the one ensuring our environments are safe, excellent, and full of life. If you’re a high-capacity leader who loves solving problems with grace and wants to help families take their next step with Christ, we’d love to meet you!

Requirements

• Professional Maturity: A leader who stays calm and composed in a fast-paced environment, navigating the "busy-ness" of ministry with grace and a solution-oriented heart.
• Relational Heart: Someone who genuinely loves connecting with parents and volunteers, providing pastoral care while maintaining clear and consistent communication.
• Detailed Ownership: You have a high eye for detail and excellence. Whether it’s an Incident Report form or a sanitized toy, you believe that "small things matter" in creating a safe environment for families.
• High-Capacity Drive: You’re a self-starter who thrives with minimal supervision, manages your time well, and can pivot quickly when unexpected needs arise.
• Mission-Aligned: A team player who is teachable, flexible, and fully committed to the vision and values of Victory Family Church.
• A Passionate Advocate for Kids: You have a deep heart for ministry and a genuine passion for seeing children (birth through 5 years) and their families take their next steps with Christ.
• An Experienced Leader: You have a proven track record of leading in an early childhood, educational, or ministry setting.
• A "Steady Anchor": You possess a high level of emotional maturity and resilience. You are someone who remains calm and composed under pressure, choosing to lead with optimism even when things get busy.
• A Relational Bridge-Builder: You have excellent interpersonal skills and a natural ability to connect with staff, volunteers, and parents, handling every conversation with grace and professional integrity.
• An Operational Pro: You are highly organized and detail-oriented. You’re comfortable managing budgets, navigating processes (like reporting and scheduling), and keeping ministry environments at a high standard of excellence.
• A High-Capacity Teammate: You are a self-starter who can work with minimal supervision. You are teachable, flexible, and thrive in a collaborative team environment where no task is too small and no vision is too big.
• Available & Flexible: You are ready and willing to work a schedule that includes Sundays, Wednesday nights, and special church-wide events (like Kids Camp) throughout the year.

Nice To Haves

• While a degree in a related field is a plus, we value high-level experience and a demonstrated ability to lead teams and manage operations effectively.

Responsibilities

• Lead & Empower Teams: Recruit, train, and pour into a large team of volunteers. You’ll be their primary coach—sending weekly encouragement, leading team meetings, and ensuring everyone is equipped to create a life-giving experience for our kids.
• Execute with Excellence: Oversee the "Sunday & Wednesday Experience" by managing schedules, preparing curriculum materials, and ensuring our nursery and preschool environments are clean, organized, safe, and ready for ministry.
• Manage Operations: Handle the "behind-the-scenes" essentials, including managing the early childhood budget, ordering supplies, recruiting and scheduling staff for paid childcare events, and overseeing the onboarding process for new team members.
• Collaborate on Big Moments: Partner with the broader Victory Kids team to help plan and execute major events like Kids Camp and Best Day Ever, bringing creativity and a positive spirit to every project.
