The Blossom Nursery / Blossom Early Learning Center

• Deputy Manager

  Reporting to the Centre Director and Operations Director, I was the second in charge at 2 centres (Blossom Downtown and Blossom Village) and as such I was able to fully take on all Centre Director responsibilities as needed and support on a daily level for optimal functioning of the centre. I have also assisted in community level marketing aswell as provided administrative support to the sister company BEE Academy. As the only pre-existing member of the management team in a new centre that opened in January 2014, my primary responsibility was to set up all systems in line with the Nursery’s policies and procedures and to ensure security, confidentiality and communications are well documented and protected.
