About The Position

This is a Parent-Child and PreK Instructor position, not a summer position. The role involves working with young learners, specifically babies and toddlers (4 months-3 years) and PreK children (ages 3-6 years) during weekday mornings. The instructor will guide movement, music, exploration, and skill-building activities, with parents and caregivers participating alongside their children in some classes. For Pre-K classes (3-6 years), the instruction is parent-independent and focuses on building listening skills, coordination, confidence, and age-appropriate gymnastics abilities through structured lesson plans. The goal is to create fun, meaningful experiences that help children grow physically, socially, and emotionally in a positive and encouraging environment.
