Build and maintain strong relationships with families, Elders, and community partners.

Monitor program quality and support children’s growth and development.

Contribute to ongoing program development and continuous improvement initiatives.

Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills

Collaborative, adaptable, and community‑focused approach

Additional Requirements NETES requires a clear and satisfactory Criminal Record Check prior to the start of employment. All checks must be dated within three (3) months of the start date.
