Enrichment Teacher

New York Kids Club • New York, NY

3d • Onsite

About The Position

New York Preschool & Kids Club is a premier early childhood education and enrichment program serving modern New York families through our combination of enrichment classes and preschool education. With multiple schools across New York City, NYPKC blends a research-backed, play-based curriculum with a fun and supportive environment, delivering a full family experience for children and parents. We are looking for a high-energy Enrichment Teacher who can command a room and keep it buzzing. This is a generalist role. Across a single day you might lead a gym class, run a music and art circle, coach a toddler through a first tumble, and keep our Afternoon Club moving until pickup. We're looking for a big presence, a strong voice, and the stamina to bring energy and structure to every class, every hour.

Requirements

• Presence and energy. You are comfortable being the most animated person in the room. You engage a group of young children quickly and keep your energy high across a full day or a long afternoon.
• Classroom leadership. You notice and redirect behavior calmly and early, and you hold structure without losing the fun.
• 1 to 2+ years teaching children ages 2 to 6 (camp, pre-k, after-school, daycare, or enrichment).
• Comfort leading gym and movement classes matters most; experience in music, dance, gymnastics, sports, or yoga is a plus.
• A High School Diploma or equivalent is required.
• Physical exam and background checks are required for this position.

Nice To Haves

• An Associate’s or Bachelor’s in Early Childhood, or study in progress, is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Lead the room. Take charge of gym, movement, music, art, STEM, and sports classes for children ages 0 to 6, keeping every class active, structured, and fun from the first minute to the last.
• Bring the energy. Set the tone with a strong voice and a big presence. You keep children engaged, moving, and excited, and you hold that energy across a full afternoon.
• Stay two steps ahead. Notice behavior early and redirect it before it escalates, hold clear and consistent expectations, and keep transitions quick so no minute is wasted.
• Run Afternoon Club. At several locations you will lead our after-school program through 6:00 pm: a fast-paced mix of gym, dance, sports, art, and more, where children move from activity to activity and families pick up throughout the afternoon.
• Partner with families. Give parents clear daily updates on their child’s wins and challenges, building a bridge between school and home.

Benefits

• PTO and sick/safe leave available dependent on full time or part time employment.
• Tuition Reimbursement Program for full-time team members.
• Medical (full-time only), Dental, and Vision coverage
• 401(k) Plan with Company Contribution.
