After School Program Manager
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include in a paragraph. We must preserve all substantive information: description, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, schedule, why you'll love, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

Why You'll Love This Role could be a section "Why You'll Love This Role" with paragraphs. But we could merge into About the role? However we have separate content: "Lead With Purpose", "A Schedule That Fits Your Life", "Outstanding Part-Time Benefits*". Since we already have Benefits and Schedule sections, we could keep "Why You'll Love This Role" as a section with the two paragraphs about purpose and schedule? But schedule already covered. Might be redundant. Better to create a section "Why You'll Love This Role" containing the paragraphs about Lead With Purpose and A Schedule That Fits Your Life (though schedule already separate). But we could keep schedule separate and not duplicate. Thus:Why You'll Love This Role
Lead With Purpose: Take ownership of your own school site while mentoring a team of educators who help children thrive every afternoon. Your leadership will shape the experience for both your staff and the families you serve.
A Schedule That Fits Your Life: Monday–Friday afternoons; typical shifts from 1:30 PM–5:30 PM. Wednesday shifts begin around 12:30 PM for early‑release schools. No evenings, no weekends, no holiday shifts. This role is perfect for educators, coaches, youth leaders, recreation professionals, retirees, or anyone looking for meaningful leadership in a flexible part‑time schedule.
But schedule already in its own section; we could avoid duplication by not repeating schedule details. However the instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we put schedule in its own section, we still need to preserve the schedule details; we can keep them there. The "Why You'll Love This Role" paragraph about schedule could be shortened to just mention that schedule fits life, but we would be losing detail? The detail is already in schedule section, so it's okay to reference generally. But we might be summarizing away detail? The detail is preserved elsewhere, not lost. So it's okay.

Now "Now Hiring at: Makalapa" we already have location in About the role; we could drop duplicate. "Why Kama‘āina Kids?" paragraph: "We’re Hawai‘i’s largest locally owned nonprofit childcare provider, proudly recognized as a Top Workplace for five years running. Our mission is to enrich the lives of children and families through quality education and care—and we support our staff with training, structure, and aloha." plus list of locations.
