Responsibilities

• Host Events at Our Schools
• Plan and host a regular calendar of on-site events at each school, such as Open Houses, Play & Tour mornings, Infant Program previews, Preschool and Pre-K events, and seasonal family events, that bring prospective families through our doors.
• Run each event end to end in partnership with the School Director: promotion, RSVPs, set-up and materials, staffing plan, and follow-up.
• Make every event a chance to see the school in action: coordinate with Directors so classrooms and teachers are ready and families can take a tour while they are there.
• Invite local referral sources and neighbors, such as libraries, pediatric offices, family organizations, and local businesses, to promote or co-host events and widen our reach.
• Get School Leaders Involved in the Community
• As part of onboarding, mystery shop key competitors around each New Jersey school to understand the local childcare offering and identify Inspire’s key differentiating factors. Use these insights to strengthen our local messaging, events, tour experience, and enrollment approach.
• Identify the highest-potential community events near each school (town days, street fairs, National Night Out, library and park events, farmers markets, and family festivals) and build a community events calendar for every school.
• Get School Directors, Assistant Directors, and teachers out to those events: schedule who attends, and prepare them with talking points, materials, and Inspire giveaways so local families meet the people who will care for their children.
• Build relationships with local referral sources, such as pediatric and OB-GYN offices, apartment communities, libraries, employers, and family organizations, that can share our events and send families our way.
