Open Roles
Magical Beginnings is seeking an experienced Assistant Child Care Center Program Director to join the leadership team at their child care center in the North Shore area of Massachusetts. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate early education professional who thrives in both center leadership and hands-on classroom support.
As Assistant Director, you will be a hands-on instructional leader, spending approximately 50% of your week working in ratio within classrooms. You will partner closely with the Center Director to support operations, compliance, staff development, and family engagement. This is a visible, relationship-driven leadership role built on trust, collaboration, and presence.
Spend 50% of the week as a consistent, in-ratio presence in classrooms across age groups. Model developmentally appropriate practice, classroom management, and nurturing interactions. Support classroom continuity by covering breaks, absences, and transitions while building strong relationships with children through daily engagement.
Partner with the Director to support daily operations of a licensed childcare center. Ensure classrooms consistently meet Massachusetts EEC ratio and safety requirements. Provide real-time coaching and feedback to educators while working alongside them.
This role leads from within the classroom, not from behind a desk. The Assistant Director supports staff development, family engagement, and maintains visible presence throughout the center.
