About this role
Guidepost Montessori is looking for an experienced leader to serve as Assistant Director at their Voorhees location, working directly with the Head of School to shape both the day-to-day operations and the broader culture of the campus. The role blends administrative management with community-facing leadership—you'd oversee enrollment and lead conversion efforts, manage school operations including billing and scheduling, host outreach events, and serve as a primary point of contact for parents. This is ideal for someone who genuinely enjoys building relationships and fostering community alongside the operational work.
The position requires director-level early childhood education experience and strong organizational skills, with particular emphasis on communication, attention to detail, and comfort with computer systems and CRM platforms. Prior experience in admissions, program, or school administration at a preschool is preferred, as is familiarity with Montessori education itself. You should be self-directed, personable, and capable of managing multiple priorities simultaneously.
Guidepost offers professional development, mentorship within a growing network, clear advancement opportunities, competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, and a notable perk: 100% tuition coverage for two children at any school in their network. The role is full-time and in-office in Voorhees Township, New Jersey.
