Part-Time Extended Day Supervisor

We're looking for a warm, organized, and energetic Extended Day Supervisor to lead our afternoon program and create a safe, nurturing environment where nursery school children can play, explore, and unwind after their school day.

This is an excellent opportunity for:

• Early childhood teachers seeking additional income
• Graduate or undergraduate early childhood education students
• Experienced childcare professionals
• Career changers exploring early childhood education
• Individuals who enjoy building relationships with young children and families

Position Overview As our Extended Day Supervisor, you'll lead a small team of extended day educators, serving as the bridge between your staff's on-the-ground observations, the nursery school classroom, and the families you serve.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Create calm, predictable afternoon routines that help our youngest children feel safe and secure.
• Plan play-based, developmentally appropriate activities that balance creativity, movement, sensory exploration, and rest.
• Foster a team culture where extended day educators feel comfortable sharing observations about individual children — their moods, needs, triumphs, and challenges throughout the afternoon.
• Synthesize what your team notices and translate those observations into warm, meaningful conversations with families at pick-up.
• Be the consistent, trusted face that families connect with at the end of the day — someone who knows their child and can speak to their afternoon with care and specificity.
• Ensure families feel that the extended day program is a seamless, connected extension of their child's nursery school experience.
• Support staff with kindness, consistency, and professionalism.
• Prepare ahead so transitions feel gentle and organized — especially important for young children.

Key Responsibilities

• Supervise and coordinate daily extended day programming for nursery school-aged children.
• Create a safe, nurturing environment tailored to the developmental needs of children ages 2–5.
• Plan age-appropriate, play-based activities including art, movement, sensory play, and outdoor exploration.
• Manage afternoon transitions including dismissal, snack, outdoor play, and pick-up.
• Cultivate a communication culture within the extended day team, encouraging educators to notice and share the small moments and nuances that matter to families.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for families at pick-up, drawing on your team's observations to share meaningful, individualized updates about each child's afternoon.
• Collaborate regularly with classroom teachers and school leadership to ensure continuity between the school day and the extended day program.
• Maintain attendance and ensure all safety procedures are followed.
• Model professionalism and support a positive team culture.

Qualifications   We're more interested in finding the right person than checking every box. Ideal candidates may have experience in:

• Early childhood education
• Nursery school or preschool settings
• Camp leadership
• Childcare (infants, toddlers, or preschoolers)
• Recreation or youth programming

We welcome applicants who are:

• Organized and dependable
• Warm, patient, and nurturing with very young children
• Comfortable managing and mentoring a small team
• A natural communicator with both children and families
• Excited to learn and grow in early childhood education

Experience supervising young children and leading a team is preferred, but we encourage motivated candidates from a variety of backgrounds to apply.
