• Welcome every new hire. Build an onboarding experience that feels warm and organized, and keep certifications, background checks, and renewals on track.
• Be the person people trust. Answer questions, resolve conflicts early and fairly, and protect a respectful, positive workplace.
• Make people want to stay. Lead recognition, engagement, and the everyday things that drive real retention — the heart of this role.
• Keep us solid. Administer benefits, coordinate payroll (Paycom), and own HR compliance (FLSA, ADA, FMLA, EEO, and Arkansas law).

This is more than a job — it's a chance to build something.

• A title that grows with you. Step into a Manager role and grow as the company grows.
• Work that matters. Every great hire you make and keep means better care for a child who needs it.
• A leadership team that gets it. Our co-founder is a practicing BCBA — supporting our people isn't a slogan here, it's how we operate.
