About the Role
The Parent Educator serves as a vital bridge between families and the ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) program at MVES/TLLC for the 2026-27 school year.

The role requires active partnership with Tiger Preschool teachers and local healthcare providers, such as hospitals and pediatric clinics, to organize visits, classes, and information sessions.
