What Does a Preschool Director Do?
A preschool director acts as the administrator of a preschool. Among other duties, he or she typically supervises the staff and oversees the budget. Other common responsibilities of preschool directors include developing the school’s policies and programs, as well as acting as a liaison with parents and the community at large. These professionals usually have a background in early childhood education and prior teaching experience. In a large preschool, the director may employ an assistant director, or other administrative staff members, in addition to the classroom teachers.
