Educational Administrative Assistant
The child care manager is responsible for hiring and supervising any staff who work at the facility. This includes finding new staff when needed, selecting the best candidates for the position, training and motivating staff members, evaluating the performance of staff members through a review process, helping staff members with their professional development and taking steps to deal with any problems. Because all staff at a child care facility are responsible for the safety and well-being of children, it is especially important for the manager to select candidates with both the skills and temperament needed for the job.
The manager often works in the office on administrative duties while staff supervise the children and implement the program. However, the manager is also expected to be actively involved in direct care of the children whenever possible. Some children attending the child care may display signs of developmental problems or family issues. In some cases, the manager may need to intervene to ensure that a developmental problem is properly dealt with or that a child is protected from harm. This may involve contacting a social worker, depending on the circumstances.
