What We're Looking For

We are seeking someone who understands that every moment of the day is an opportunity for learning and growth.

This position requires more than simply supervising children. Our Classroom Facilitators are expected to take an active role in teaching, planning, leading activities, and creating a structured environment where children remain engaged and productive.

Planning, preparation, and accountability are non-negotiable expectations of this position.

Facilitators will be held accountable for following their approved schedules, completing planned activities, and ensuring children are consistently engaged in meaningful learning opportunities throughout the day.

Consistency, accountability, creativity, and initiative are essential to success in this role.

The right candidate will be someone who enjoys working with children, takes pride in maintaining an organized classroom, and can confidently lead a group while meeting the diverse needs of each child.
