• Provide outstanding customer service and experience. We treat our members like family here. (sometimes a smile goes a long way!)
• Create a warm and fun environment for the Children each class.
• Treat each class and each child as if it’s their first day – EVERY WEEK!

You’d fit in here if

• You love having fun, encouraging kids and giving High-5’s! (A background in child 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 would be voted most likely to be in a good mood by your classmates.

• 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.
• You could get paid to fold sweatpants or you could get paid to wear the sweatpants. The choice is yours.
