The Story: Why Change Sectors?

If you have spent your career leading facility-based operations—whether running an assisted living community, skilled nursing facility, adult day care, YMCA, health club, or sports complex—you already know the core truth of your work: you are in the human business.

You know what it takes to drive census and enrollment. You know the art of local marketing, sales, and community outreach. You understand how to build a magnetic culture, keep a team inspired through strict regulatory standards, and deliver an exceptional experience to the families and members who walk through your doors every day.

Now, imagine taking those exact same operational superpowers and applying them where they matter most—shaping the next generation while building a long-term, highly rewarding career.

We are one of Pennsylvania’s premier early childhood education organizations, operating top-rated schools dedicated to providing world-class care and development. But here is what sets us apart: we don’t just hire educators to run our schools—we hire elite operational, sales, and culture leaders. We have master educators on site to handle curriculum and classroom programming, leaving you free to do what you do best: lead the business, grow enrollment, build a world-class team, and drive operational excellence.

If you are feeling burned out by the clinical drag of healthcare or the endless grind of retail fitness, but still love the dynamic energy of facility operations and community leadership, this is your invitation to make a meaningful change.

What You’ll Be Doing

As the General Manager and Captain of your school, you will own the overall culture, growth, and day-to-day operations:

• Drive Census & Enrollment: Lead local marketing, host tours, follow up with inquiries, and turn prospective families into long-term community members.
• Build a World-Class Culture: Recruit, hire, coach, and retain top talent. You’ll focus heavily on team morale, professional development, and drastically reducing turnover.
• Lead Operations & Compliance: Oversee daily staffing ratios, scheduling, operational budgets, and ensure total compliance with state licensing and safety standards.
• Be the Face of the School: Build trusted, long-term relationships with parents through proactive communication and outstanding service.

Who We Are Looking For

We welcome accomplished operational leaders from a variety of service-driven industries—childcare background is welcomed, but definitely not required.

• 3+ years of Executive/Operational Leadership running a facility, managing a P&L, and leading a team (Senior Living, Healthcare, YMCA/Fitness, Hospitality, or Education).
• Proven track record in sales, marketing, or census/enrollment building within a local market.
• Natural people leader who knows how to inspire teams, handle tough conversations, and build positive workplace cultures.
• Strong operational acumen with high attention to safety, compliance, and detail.

What We Offer

• Base Salary: $80,000 – $100,000 per year, depending on operational experience.
• Uncapped Quarterly Performance Bonuses: Tied directly to enrollment growth (adding $8,000 – $40,000+ annually).
• Comprehensive Benefits: Medical insurance, 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, and company holidays.
• True Work-Life Balance: Stable, daytime hours in a positive, high-energy environment.
• Growth & Autonomy: The independence to run your school like your own business, backed by an executive team that invests in your success.
