KidStrong Franklin is Hiring Coaches!

The best job you've never heard of. Job starts in November

We're looking for people who are great with kids, bring real energy, and want to do work that actually matters.

KidStrong is a science-based kids training program that builds brain, body, and character in kids from crawling through age 11. Our coaches are the reason families join, the reason they stay, and the reason kids walk out of class saying "I am strong, I am brave, I can do this" — and meaning it.

This is not babysitting. This is not daycare. This is coaching at a level most people don't associate with kids under 12, and it's one of the most rewarding things you can do with your time.

A note from our cofounder:

"When Andrew and I brought KidStrong to Nashville, the first thing I told our team was that the coaches are everything. They're the ones who learn every kid's name, figure out what makes them tick, and create the kind of environment where a shy three-year-old becomes a confident kid who introduces herself to strangers. Our coaches don't just run classes — they change how kids see themselves. If that sounds like something you want to be part of, we want to meet you."*

— Shawn Johnson East

What you'd actually be doing

Coaching small groups of kids through a structured, evolving weekly curriculum focused on physical development, cognitive skills, and character. Every class is designed by child development experts, and every week is different — so your kids never get bored and neither do you.

Between classes, you'll connect with parents. You'll explain the "why" behind what their kid is working on and help them see changes they might not notice on their own. Parents trust our coaches with their kids, and that trust is earned every single class.

Who we're looking for

You don't need a perfect resume. You need to be great with kids, coachable, and the kind of person who shows up and brings it every time.

The strongest candidates tend to have a background in athletics, coaching, education, or child development — but we've also hired former teachers, camp counselors, pediatric therapists, kinesiology students, and college athletes who just love kids and want meaningful part-time work.

You should have:

- Experience working with children ages 15 months–11 years (coaching, teaching, camp, PT/OT — any of it counts)

- The ability to talk to parents like a real person, not a script

- Some working knowledge of movement, exercise technique, or body mechanics

- CPR certification or willingness to get certified before your first class

- High energy and a positive attitude that kids and parents can feel the second you walk in

Why this job is different

Most part-time jobs are forgettable. This one isn't. You'll know kids by name. You'll watch them grow week over week. Parents will tell you that their kid talks about you at the dinner table. You'll be part of a team that genuinely cares about building something meaningful in Nashville.

We're growing fast and the coaches who get in now will have opportunities that don't exist at bigger, more established programs.
