After School Teacher

About This Role Quilla Academy is looking for a dependable, energetic After School Teacher to join our growing school-age program. Our after-school program gives elementary-age children a safe and positive place to spend their afternoons. We want our program to be more than basic supervision—we want children to have opportunities to play, create, spend time outdoors, participate in interesting activities, and build positive relationships with adults and other children. This is a part-time, Monday-Friday position. The typical schedule is approximately 2:00-5:45 PM, with some flexibility in the start time. Children generally arrive between 2:30 and 3:00 PM. We are especially interested in someone who is willing and able to drive for afternoon school pickup. A teacher who regularly assists with transportation would begin at approximately 1:45 PM. There may also be opportunities for additional hours during school breaks and summer camp, including helping with transportation for occasional field trips. Previous experience working with children is preferred, but we are willing to consider someone without formal childcare credentials who is dependable, enthusiastic, and a great fit for our program. Starting pay is $13.50-$16 per hour, based on relevant experience, qualifications, and driving responsibilities.
