Admissions Manager

Every family who reaches out to us is in the most hopeful — and most vulnerable — moment of their parenting life. They are deciding who to trust with the most important person in their world. As our Admissions Manager you'll guide families through the childcare enrollment process, turning interest into confidence and tours into enrollments. This is a relationship-driven admissions and consultative sales role where empathy, persistence, and follow-through directly impact the growth of our early childhood education centers.

This is a hybrid position that requires periodic travel to our school locations throughout the region. Candidates must reside in Massachusetts, New York, or Connecticut. This position reports to the Chief Marketing Officer.

Magical Beginnings is scaling quickly — Magical Beginnings Learning Centers is one of the fastest-growing early childhood education organizations in the Northeast, with 24 active childcare centers and continued expansion across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. We are building a best-in-class enrollment engine, and we are looking for a closer who believes in the mission as much as they believe in the close.

If you are energized by a growing, purpose-driven organization and you know how to earn a family’s commitment, this is your role.

The Admissions Manager is the driving force behind family enrollment at Magical Beginnings. You own the admissions process after each childcare tour, guiding families through registration and enrollment. Working closely with Center Directors, you combine consultative sales, relationship building, and exceptional follow-up to turn qualified leads into enrolled families while delivering an outstanding admissions experience.

As Magical Beginnings continues to grow through new school acquisitions across the Northeast, you'll also help launch admissions and enrollment operations at newly acquired early childhood education centers. You'll manage lead pipelines, support CRM processes, coach enrollment best practices, and help ensure every new location build a strong foundation for enrollment success. This is a high-visibility, results-driven role with uncapped earning potential for someone who thrives on building relationships, achieving enrollment goals, and making a meaningful impact.

• Conversion that moves the needle You own the tour-to-registration rate across the portfolio. You know your number scold, and you close.
• Families who feel held Every family you touch leaves feeling seen, supported, and certain they made the right choice. You are the proof that our north star is real.
• New schools that don’t miss a beat When Magical Beginnings acquires a school, enrollment keeps moving — because you are there. You stand up the system, field inquiries, and close registrations while the Director learns our way of working.
• A playbook that scales You build and own the enrollment playbook — the scripts, response standards, CRM protocols, and Director readiness scorecard — so every school runs the same excellent process.
• Directors who can close You coach Center Directors on post-tour follow-up and the registration conversation. The centers you coach close more families on their own over time.

• Own follow-up for every completed family tour across the portfolio.
• Manage every opportunity in the CRM, following up by phone, text, and email until the family enrolls or is no longer pursuing care.
• Address questions, overcome objections, and confidently ask for the registration deposit.

• You close the registration — secure the deposit and signed agreement, then hand off clean to the Enrollment Coordinator.
• You are trained as a backup in our childcare management system and enter families directly during coverage gaps or high-volume acquisition periods.
• You keep the CRM immaculate: no lead unlogged, no follow-up unscheduled, every family conversation documented.

• When a seat opens, you make the re-conversion call personally. This is a high-stakes moment, not an automated task.
• You know your waitlisted families well enough that they…
