How many people can say they love going to work? You can be one of them!

If you have tons of energy, love kids, and are looking for a way to give back to your community, you may be the person we are looking for!

Our WonderKids Club is an enrichment program for children ages 3-5. It is an active learning experience with immersive play, arts and crafts, creative songs, and story time that is instructor-led.

What we expect from you…

• Introduce kids to the serious fun of education and play, all within The Little Gym's unique learning environment.
• Teach amazing classes based on our proven curriculum and teaching method (don’t worry, we’ll teach you how!)
• Provide outstanding customer service and membership experience. We treat our members like family here.

You’d fit in here if…

• You’re totally open to being a goofball and love giving high 5’s. (A background in early childhood development, physical education, and/or gymnastics helps as well)
• You live to serve! Making others feel good makes you feel good.
• Kids really like you, but their parents really like you too.
• You were voted most likely to be in a good mood by your high school classmates.
• You love to have fun but you know when to buckle down and do work.

You may think we’re awesome because…

• You get to watch kids learn and grow right before your eyes.
• Kids walk out of our classes more confident than when they walked in every single day.
• You’ll get your steps in and close your activity rings while you work because you’ll be moving all day.
• We take our fun pretty seriously but also take the role we play in our community and with each child we meet seriously. The relationships you’ll build here will last a lifetime.
