- Minimum one years' experience mentoring a team as an Assistant Director.
- Experience in overseeing and implementing a program based on children's needs and interests.
- A strong understanding of compliance and of National Quality Standards (NQF).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

- The ability to manage and lead community engagement.

- At Early Years Talent, we connect passionate early childhood educators, teachers and childcare staff with job opportunities. Our clients range from boutique exceeding early learning centres, long day cares to community-managed not-for-profits and kindergartens/preschools._
