Momentum on Shift

You step into 1472 Roths Church Rd and the room sparks to life—warm greetings, a fast check-in, and a quick sweep to confirm everything’s set. As families arrive, you keep the pace upbeat and steady: help kids ease in, rotate between focused play and big-energy movement, and make every handoff feel smooth.

When your shift wraps, the space is refreshed, messages are squared away, and the next crew launches right into action.

Obtain Criminal background check, Child Abuse Clearance, and FBI fingerprint clearance.
