Experienced Preschool Operations Coordinator at Primrose School of Aliana - 11225 Markdow Road Richmond, TX 77407

Full-Time | In-Person

Salary: $37,000–$70,000 annually, commensurate with experience (see below)

Primrose School of Aliana is seeking an experienced and operationally strong Director of Operations to join our School Leadership Team.

This is a senior leadership role for an experienced childcare Director who already understands what it takes to successfully operate a licensed childcare center
. The Director of Operations will work closely with the Director, Education Coach, and Ownership Team, with primary responsibility for school operations, Texas Child Care Licensing compliance, staffing, employee relations, health and safety, facilities, and administrative execution.

This is not an entry-level leadership position. We are looking for a hands‑on leader who identifies problems early, takes ownership, follows through without needing constant direction, professionally holds employees accountable, and maintains a visible leadership presence throughout the school.

For a high-performing leader, this position may provide opportunities for expanded leadership responsibility as the school continues to grow.

• Oversee daily school operations and maintain compliance with Texas Minimum Standards, Primrose standards, and health and safety requirements.
• Keep the school licensing-ready and inspection-ready every day.
• Conduct routine classroom, ratio, supervision, safety, facility, and compliance checks.
• Maintain required licensing records, staff documentation, drills, incidents, inspections, certifications, and compliance calendars.
• Work with licensing representatives, inspectors, vendors, and contractors.
• Identify operational or compliance concerns and ensure corrective actions are completed.

• Manage daily staffing, classroom coverage, ratios, schedules, breaks, attendance, punctuality, and call‑outs.
• Support recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, orientation, and employee training.
• Maintain employee files, training records, certifications, and required documentation.
• Address employee performance, attendance, conduct, and accountability concerns in partnership with the Director and Ownership.
• Support coaching, counseling, corrective action, and performance management.
• Sustain a culture of accountability, professionalism, teamwork, reliability, and strong communication.

• Ensure the school remains safe, clean, organized, functional, and inspection-ready.
• Conduct routine facility and safety walkthroughs and follow through on identified issues.
• Coordinate maintenance, repairs, vendors, inspections, and operational supplies.
• Ensure health, sanitation, supervision, emergency, and incident-reporting procedures are consistently followed.

• Maintain accurate operational records, reports, calendars, checklists, and deadlines.
• Support scheduling, payroll/timekeeping review, purchasing, inventory, and expense documentation.
• Improve procedures and workflows to strengthen operational consistency and efficiency.
• Maintain a visible leadership presence and serve as a resource for teachers and staff.
• Support family concerns, tours, enrollment, school events, and other leadership responsibilities as needed.
• Provide classroom support when necessary to maintain ratios and continuity of care.
• Keep the Director and Ownership informed of significant staffing, compliance, safety, employee, and operational concerns.
