Full Description

Lead Leaders. Shape the Future of Early Learning.

Lambert Nemec Group is pleased to be partnering with the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg — Manitoba’s largest provider of licensed child care — in their search for a Director, Child Care to join their child care leadership team.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t a traditional centre-based Director position. Instead of running one location, you’ll oversee a portfolio of child care centres — coaching and developing Centre Supervisors while driving program quality, operational excellence, and strong outcomes for children, families, and educators.

At the YMCA-YWCA, strong leaders build strong programs. You won’t be carrying every responsibility alone — you’ll work alongside a collaborative leadership team with dedicated support from Human Resources, Finance, Registration, and IT, freeing you to focus on what matters most: building high-performing teams and delivering exceptional early learning experiences.

This Opportunity Offers You The Chance To

  • Make a meaningful impact across multiple child care centres
  • Coach and mentor the next generation of child care leaders
  • Join Manitoba’s largest — and one of its most respected — child care organizations
  • Be part of an organization in a significant growth phase
  • Access ongoing leadership development and professional learning
  • Build a long-term career with real advancement potential

About The Role

Reporting to the Child Care Manager, you’ll provide operational leadership for a portfolio of licensed child care centres throughout Winnipeg, splitting time between the office and on-site visits to build strong relationships with Centre Supervisors and their teams.

Success in this role isn’t measured by how much you do yourself — it’s measured by the leaders you develop. You’ll empower Centre Supervisors to lead confidently while ensuring consistency, regulatory compliance, program excellence, and outstanding experiences for children and families.

Lead & Coach

  • Coach, mentor, and develop Centre Supervisors across multiple locations
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement
  • Support recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and professional development
  • Build strong relationships with educators, families, schools, and community partners
  • Facilitate regular leadership meetings and individual coaching sessions

Champion Program Excellence

  • Ensure programs meet YMCA-YWCA standards and Manitoba licensing requirements
  • Champion inclusive, play-based, culturally responsive programming
  • Provide hands-on coaching within centres to support supervisors and educators
  • Guide curriculum implementation, including Playing to Learn and A Place to Connect
  • Promote consistency and quality across all assigned centres

Drive Operational Success

  • Oversee multiple locations while balancing competing priorities
  • Support scheduling, payroll administration, and operational planning
  • Assist with budgeting and financial oversight
  • Monitor registrations and occupancy levels
  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and efficiency
  • Collaborate closely with Registration, HR, Finance, and IT

Ready to Lead Beyond One Centre?

If you're ready to move beyond managing a single location and are excited by the opportunity to coach leaders, influence multiple programs, and make a broader organizational impact, we want to hear from you.

The Manitoba Child Care Association acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 1 Territory and on the lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the Red River Métis Homeland.

We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and we move forward in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
