About The Position

The Multi-Site Director oversees the day-to-day operation of a defined group of school-based childcare sites. The role involves regularly visiting locations, supporting teachers and Site Directors, maintaining program quality and compliance, and building dependable working relationships with school staff and families. The director manages staffing, recruitment, onboarding, schedules, coverage, payroll and labor efficiency, enrollment, program quality, state licensing compliance, and building-level school partnerships. The role requires regular travel between program sites. Programs are located at Fort Montgomery Elementary School in Fort Montgomery, NY; Little Britian Elementary School in New Windsor, NY; East Coldenham Elementary School in Newburgh, NY; and George G. Mason School in Tuxedo Park, NY. The morning program runs from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM, and the afternoon program runs from 2:45 PM to 6:00 PM. The position is part-time, non-exempt, and pays $20.00 per hour, with payday every other Friday.

The director recruits and leads site-level staff, fills staffing gaps proactively, coaches team members, addresses performance concerns, reviews timecards, monitors payroll costs, and schedules staff to required ratios while minimizing unnecessary overtime. They monitor enrollment and program quality, support families, participate in enrollment events and community outreach as needed, and report observations to their supervisor. They also ensure sites maintain active state licensing, required records and training, and inspection readiness. As the primary day-to-day contact for school building leadership, the director coordinates logistics and responds to building-level concerns, escalating district-level matters when appropriate.
