How you Will Power our Purpose (Job Summary)
Imagine leading a groundbreaking new preschool where the excitement of childhood curiosity shapes the educational experience. The Tomorrow Academy at the Greater Austin YMCA is designed to meet the unique needs of young children through intentional, age-appropriate education and care focused on cognitive, language, social, emotional and physical development.
As the Assistant Director of the YMCA Tomorrow Academy, you will support the launch of an innovative site that provides an emergent curriculum, ensuring that learning is driven by the children's interests and needs. Your leadership will be instrumental in creating an environment where no two days are alike, as your team crafts engaging experiences that captivate and inspire young minds ages 6 weeks to 5 years.

As the Assistant Director, you play a crucial role in building a strong sense of community, involving families in the educational process and creating a network of support for the children. Your leadership will ensure that the preschool remains a forward-thinking educational setting that values innovation, empathy, and resilience.
