• Keep classes safe, organized, and full of encouragement
• Build relationships that help kids and grown‑ups feel comfortable and welcome

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:

• Love working with babies, toddlers, and preschoolers
• Enjoy connecting with grown‑ups as much as their kiddos
• Are energetic, patient, outgoing, and dependable
• Are comfortable leading a group, being silly, and helping children feel at ease
• Enjoy staying active and working with a supportive team
• Are eager to learn our curriculum and teaching approach

The Schedule:

• Part‑time, typically 2–3 shifts per week
