Job description

Toddler/Preschool Gymnastics Instructor – The Little Gym International

We are looking for someone naturally full of smiles, full of energy, and always looking to have fun. We need an instructor that loves teaching children in a positive and loving environment.

A Toddler/Preschool Gymnastics Instructor takes the reins and is a leader of Serious Fun during our regularly scheduled classes.

What We Expect From You

• Teach amazing classes based on our proven curriculum and teaching method (we’ll teach you how!).
• Create a warm, positive, and fun environment for the children each class.
• Comfortable teaching to both children and parents. (Our classes from 4 months-3 years old are parent involved classes).
• Treat each class and each child as if it’s their first day – EVERY WEEK!
• This is a fast‑pace environment that will keep you moving. Be ready to run, roll, climb, jump, and swing. Children learn through watching you! You don’t have to be a top tier gymnast but you do have to be comfortable moving through the gym.
• Comfortable lifting and spotting children up to 5 years old. (We will train you on proper technique!).
• Comfortable letting your inner child out! Preschool aged children learn through play and imagination.
• Comfortable demonstrating basic developmental gymnastics skills: forward roll, walk on a small balance beam, moving across gym equipment.
• Provide outstanding customer service and membership experience. We treat our customers like family here. (Smiles go a long way).
• Create a warm, fun and educational environment for the children and families.
• Take pride in our facility – treat it like home. Cleaning and sanitizing is important!
• Available during the week and at least one weekend day. Looking for some morning, afternoon and evening availability. We can be flexible with our scheduling.
• Must attend team trainings (held once or twice a month on Sunday evenings).
• Must have a High School Diploma/GED.
• Must complete a tuberculosis test and a drug screening.
• Background checks are required.
• CPR/First Aid certifications are required.
• Online daycare licensed training courses are required in addition to The Little Gym training.

You’d Fit In Here If

• You love having fun, encouraging kids and giving High‑5’s! (A background in child development, physical education, coaching 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.
• You love to have fun, but you know when to buckle down and do work.
• Moving is more your speed. This is not a desk job!
• You have experience in Early Childhood Development or a related field.

Benefits

• Children walk out of our classes more confidently 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.
• There is hands‑on training and you will never stop learning! There is room for growth in our The Little Gym franchise. Our directors and even our owner started out as an instructor!
• Flexible scheduling.
• 401(k) up to 3.5% company match.
• PTO.
• Discounted/free programs for employee children (or sponsored child).
• Bi‑weekly direct deposit.
