Hi there! We're the children from Only About Children McDowall - and our days are busy, bright, and bursting with ideas!
We've got a veggie garden that grows faster than our snack appetites, flower beds that buzz with bees, and trees tall enough to whisper secrets to the sky .
Inside, there are six rooms full of paint, puzzles, giggles, and a lot of imagination (and yes, sometimes glitter explosions ).
We're on the lookout for a grown-up who can keep up - a leader who can turn busy mornings into bright adventures, guide our Educators like a captain steering a joyful ship, and help us dream, build, and discover something new every single day.
As Campus Director - the big thinker who helps our educators shine, our families feel at home, and our curious minds keep exploring. You'll get to:
Lead a campus that's full of energy and ideas (and sometimes a few muddy shoes).
Shape a culture where learning is fun, challenges are celebrated, and teamwork rules.
Take part in our brand-new 2025 Campus Director Program - designed to help you become the superhero leader you've always wanted to be!
Our campus is full of energy, imagination, and curious minds - every day brings something new! You'll need creativity, calm, and a steady hand to guide the fun. And don't worry - you'll have a full support crew behind you, from your Operations Leader to our Education and Quality teams.
Because here at McDowall, every day is an adventure waiting for someone bold enough to lead it.
The Grown-Up Perks (a.k.a. Why You'll Love It Here)
