Job Description
At Martial Arts Family Fitness , we do early childhood education differently! We combine foundational pre-K learning with active movement, motor-skill development, and character building. You won't just sit behind a desk—you’ll lead dynamic, high-energy classes where young kids build confidence, focus, and physical agility every single day.
Whether you need a flexible Part-Time schedule or are seeking a stable, career-focused Full-Time role, we invest heavily in our team. Step into a Lead Educator role or scale your career into Program Director or Youth Operations Management —we provide the mentorship, clear career milestones, and fast-track compensation increases to get you there!

- Dynamic Classroom Leadership: Lead high-energy preschool lessons, creative crafts, motor-skill games, and basic movement drills designed for early developmental milestones.
- Child Safety & Engagement: Maintain a vibrant, secure, and positive environment where toddlers and young learners feel celebrated, safe, and motivated.
- Parent Engagement & Community: Share daily wins with parents, highlight milestone achievements, and show families how consistent, monthly active learning transforms their child's confidence.
- Career Development: Collaborate directly with senior leadership to hone your management skills, refine active learning curricula, and prepare for higher-level program leadership.
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS (Strict Vetting)
Applicants who do not meet all criteria or fail background/licensing verification will not be considered.
- Clean Record (Mandatory): Must successfully pass a comprehensive local, state (CBI), and federal (FBI) background check, drug screening, and Colorado Child Abuse System (CBI/COCA) clearance .
- ECE Experience: Minimum 1–2+ years of verified experience as a Preschool Teacher, Daycare Provider, or Early Childhood Educator in a licensed facility.
- Vibrant Energy: High enthusiasm, patience, and strong vocal presence to keep young children energized, focused, and safe.
- Safety Certifications: Active CPR and First Aid certifications (or ability to complete before start date).
Preferred Qualifications (BIG PLUS!)
- Colorado Credentials: holding an active Colorado Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) Qualification / State Early Childhood Credential (per CDHS / CDE standards) is a BIG PLUS!
- Martial Arts / Fitness Background: Experience in Martial Arts (Taekwondo, Karate, Kickboxing, etc.), Gymnastics, Youth Coaching, or Athletics is a BIG PLUS!
- Degree or coursework in Early Childhood Education (ECE), Child Development, or Kinesiology.
- High emotional intelligence and an upbeat, professional approach to parent relationships.
Compensation, Schedule & Exclusive Perks
- Flexible Schedules: Both Part-Time and Full-Time openings available to fit your lifestyle or career goals.
- Training Pay: $17.00 – $19.00 / hour during onboarding and initial curriculum training.
- Rapid Earning Potential: Up to $25.00 / hour post-training, directly tied to performance, experience, and leadership contribution.
- Fast-Track Advancement: Clear, structured career paths to advance into Program Director, Head Curriculum Specialist, or Youth Operations Manager.
- VIP Family Perks: Free martial arts and fitness memberships for yourself and your immediate family!
