Daycare Director

Starting Pay: $30.00/hr - $35.00/hr depending on experience

This opening is for the position of Director at a brand new Certified Child Care Center in Salem, Oregon. The facility currently serves under 20 children with a capacity of 100, aged infant through preschool. It primarily serves the employees of Open Dental Software, with a state-of-the-art building located on the same campus.

The requirements for a Child Care Director in Oregon allow for various combinations of education and/or experience. For instance, 7 college credit hours in administration or management AND 600 hours of teaching experience with children (about five months) would qualify an applicant as a Director. To see the many ways to qualify, see page 35 of the Oregon rules at https://www.oregon.gov/delc/providers/CCLD_Library/CCLD-0084-Rules-for-Certified-Child-Care-Centers-EN.pdf.

The Director will have the support of the company, Open Dental Software. This means that there will be less responsibility in certain areas including budgeting, financial management, human resources, maintenance of building and grounds, janitorial, IT (computers, network, printers etc), billing, etc. This should allow the Director to focus more on areas specific to child care. Also, whenever there's a problem, the parent is minutes away, relieving the center from many typical issues like child cleanup, sickness, isolation, etc.

One of the most important skills we're looking for is the ability to manage paperwork. In the first few months, there will be a lot of documentation of policies and procedures, as required by Oregon. There will always be an ongoing need to publish daily activities in advance for the different age groups. Strong computer skills and writing skills will be needed.

Benefits include very good medical and dental insurance, 401k retirement with up to 4% company match, paid life insurance, paid holidays, and paid time off (vacation or sick).

This is a full time 40 hour position rather than salary.

Drug test and background check will be required. We generally don't hire someone who lives far outside of Salem because it's beneficial for us to have employees who live near the office.
