The BASE Site Manager serves as the leader for on-site operations at a center licensed to serve 30 or more participants. This role is pivotal in ensuring children are actively engaged in safe and enriching activities while acting as the primary communicator with key stakeholders, including school administration, staff, and parents. The Site Manager is responsible for implementing the monthly curriculum and providing supervisory support to all on-site staff, including group aides, teachers, and program volunteers.

As a leader within the organization, you will attend PTA meetings, back-to-school nights, and other school activities to promote the program. You will participate in regional committees, organization surveys, and town hall events. The role involves driving enrollment to maintain site capacity, engaging with parents monthly, and leading fundraising efforts such as 'Send a Kid to Camp' and the Turkey Trot.

You will participate in performance reviews and improvement plan meetings, conduct regular mock assessments, and complete Assessment Visit Action Plans.
