Group Leader, Manchester School Age Program

About the Role

At New Morning Schools, we strive to provide consistent, high-quality childcare to families in Southern New Hampshire! Your time at the before and after school programs will require energy, patience, and a spirit of cooperation. The children are either at the beginning or end of their day, and caring staff can make all the difference to a child during those important before and after school hours. Your goal each day should be to check in with each child, even if it's just to say hello. Children look up to our Team Members as role models, and we want you to make a difference! Our off-site School Age Programs are located in Manchester Elementary Schools: McDonough, Northwest, Parker Varney, and Smyth Road.
