Job description

Description

Healthy Kids Programs is hiring a Part-Time Site Director who is ready to step into a leadership role, make a daily impact on children's lives, and enjoy a flexible schedule with a rare benefit of employer-paid childcare.

LOCATION: Los Ninos Elementary School in Las Vegas, NM

PAY: $20.00 - $22.00 per hour

JOB STATUS: Part-Time, Non-Exempt

Featured Benefit: Employer-Paid Childcare

Healthy Kids Programs provides childcare for children (ages 5-12) enrolled in our program on the days and during the hours you work. Employer contributions cover the cost of care, so you can focus on your job while your child participates in a safe, structured, and engaging program, all without needing to arrange outside care.

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers more than a typical part-time job in childcare. You will step into a leadership role where your work directly shapes a positive, structured, and engaging environment for children.

You will work closely with your team to ensure a safe, organized, and fun environment while maintaining strong communication with families and staff. Each day brings variety, energy, and meaningful interaction with children and colleagues.

Key Responsibilities

• Program Compliance: Ensure staff and program operations consistently meet state regulations, Healthy Kids policies, and host school requirements.
• Program Leadership: Plan and lead engaging, hands-on activities aligned with the Healthy Kids curriculum, including fitness, STEAM, academics, arts, and homework support.
• Program Management: Oversee daily operations including attendance tracking, registration updates, scheduling, and staffing support.
• Family Communication: Maintain clear and consistent communication with parents and caregivers using the Playground App.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with your direct supervisor and team to share updates, solve problems proactively, and maintain a positive and supportive program culture.
