Primrose School of Fort Mill is seeking an exceptional, business-minded Executive Director who can lead a school, build a high-performing team, and deliver measurable enrollment growth.

Our current enrollment is approximately 52 children, and our goal is to reach 125 children within the next 12 months. We need a confident, hands-on leader who embraces ambitious goals, takes ownership of results, and knows how to turn a growth plan into reality.

This is not a maintenance role. It is an opportunity for a proven leader to transform school performance and earn rewards for results.

What You'll Lead

Enrollment Growth: Develop and execute a strategic plan to grow enrollment through effective tours, family follow-up, community partnerships, referrals, and local marketing.
Team Leadership: Recruit, coach, and retain outstanding educators and school leaders while building a culture of accountability and excellence.
Operational Excellence: Manage daily operations, staffing, budgets, financial performance, and compliance with South Carolina licensing requirements and Primrose standards.
Family Experience: Build strong relationships with families, improve retention, and establish the school as a preferred early education provider in the community.
Performance Management: Set measurable goals, monitor progress, and proactively address challenges to keep the school on track.

What We're Looking For

At least 5 years of progressive leadership experience in early childhood education, childcare management, or a related field.
Demonstrated success in enrollment growth, admissions, sales, or business development.
Proven ability to lead teams, achieve performance targets, and improve operational results.
Strong business acumen, communication skills, and relationship-building abilities.
An energetic, engaging, and accountable leadership style.
A hands-on approach and the determination to achieve ambitious goals.

A bachelor's degree is preferred. Experience managing a licensed childcare center and familiarity with South Carolina regulations are strong advantages.

We are looking for someone who can demonstrate past results, not just describe leadership experience.

Salary Range:

$75,000 annual base salary
Up to $25,000 annual performance bonus tied to enrollment growth, retention, team development, family satisfaction, and operational performance
Relocation assistance for qualified candidates
Paid time off
Professional development and leadership growth opportunities
Direct partnership with ownership and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact

Bonus targets and payout terms will be clearly defined.

Shift Schedule: As needed for Director.

Ready to Make a Difference? If you're excited to embark on an exciting adventure of bringing wonder to little learners, we want to hear from you!

Compensation: $75,000.00 per year
