Featured Benefit: Employer-Paid Childcare

Healthy Kids Programs provides childcare for children (ages 5–12) enrolled in our program on the days and during the hours you work. Employer contributions cover the cost of care, so you can focus on your job while your child participates in a safe, structured, and engaging program, all without needing to arrange outside care.

Why This Role Stands Out

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.

Additional benefits include telehealth, vision, and dental coverage, AFLAC supplemental plans, a 401(k) for eligible employees, paid sick time, on-demand pay, and opportunities for professional growth and advancement within Healthy Kids Programs.

A Day in the Life

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.

Key Responsibilities

• Program Compliance: Ensure staff and program operations consistently meet state regulations, Healthy Kids policies, and host school requirements.
• Program Leadership: Plan and lead engaging, hands-on activities aligned with the Healthy Kids curriculum, including fitness, STEAM, academics, arts, and homework support.
• Program Management: Oversee daily operations including attendance tracking, registration updates, scheduling, and staffing support.
• Family Communication: Maintain clear and consistent communication with parents and caregivers using the Playground App.
• Team Collaboration: Work closely with your direct supervisor and team to share updates, solve problems proactively, and maintain a positive and supportive program culture.
