About the Role

We are seeking a high-energy Enrichment Teacher to provide New York City’s 0 to 6-year-olds with a foundation for lifelong learning through our incredible enrichment classes. In this "jack of all trades" role, you are part athlete, part scientist, and part performer- transitioning seamlessly from spotting a budding gymnast on the bars, to leading a "mad science" experiment, or coaching a parent and toddler through their very first steps. As a natural storyteller with a flair for the dramatic and a heart for early childhood development, you will turn every lesson into a core memory, ensuring our youngest learners feel confident, inspired, and excited to explore the world around them.

Responsibilities

Lead and co-lead a dynamic range of classes for children ages 0 to 6.
Use structured and unstructured play, art, music, gymnastics, and STEM to build a child’s confidence and coordination.
Curate a "safe to fail" environment where a shaky first step or a messy art project is celebrated as a vital leap in their lifelong learning journey.
Master the art of the transition and the "behind-the-scenes" flow.
Tackle daily operations with a "ready-for-anything" attitude.
Build trust with parents and caregivers through daily updates, sharing the successes and challenges of their child’s day, and building a bridge between school and home.
Ensure a safe, joyful, and engaging classroom environment where every child thrives.
Anticipate classroom needs and prepare resources well in advance of instruction.
Execute smooth, efficient transitions between classes and activities to maximize learning time.
Cultivate trust-based relationships with students, families, and the internal team.
Maintain 100% compliance with all Department of Health compliance requirements.

Requirements

A High School Diploma or equivalent is required.
An Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood (or someone who is studying) is preferred.
1-2+ years of formal teaching experience in early childhood (ages 0-6).
Camp, pre-k, after-school, and other enrichment experiences are preferred.
Experience teaching music, dance, gymnastics, or yoga is a plus!
Be a passionate teacher and lifelong learner!
Physical exam and background checks are required for this position.
The role involves standing, walking, sitting, constant movement, and occasional climbing.
Ability to lift and move up to 50 pounds is required.
Specific sensory abilities include close vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and adjustment of focus.
