About The Position

Healthy Kids Programs is hiring a Part-Time Site Director who is ready to step into a leadership role, make a daily impact on children’s lives, and enjoy a flexible schedule with a rare benefit of employer-paid childcare. This position offers more than a typical part-time job in childcare. You will step into a leadership role where your work directly shapes a positive, structured, and engaging environment for children. One of the most unique parts of this opportunity is employer-paid childcare for your own children enrolled in the program, helping you significantly reduce childcare costs while staying closely connected during the workday. In the afternoon, you return to guide engaging activities such as arts and crafts, STEAM projects, fitness games, and homework support. You will work closely with your team to ensure a safe, organized, and fun environment while maintaining strong communication with families and staff. Each day brings variety, energy, and meaningful interaction with children and colleagues.
