Preschool Gymnastics Teacher

DISCLOSURE: Wisconsin Swim Academy and Sweet Peas Toddler Tumbling is not yet open in Green Bay. By applying, you acknowledge and accept a delayed start date closer to October/November.

About the Role

We're looking for an enthusiastic Preschool Gymnastics Teacher to lead exciting classes filled with learning, laughter, movement, and fun. You'll coach, encourage, inspire, and celebrate our youngest athletes while helping them develop important physical, social, and emotional skills. Every day brings new adventures, new achievements, and plenty of high-fives!

We're looking for someone who loves building genuine relationships with children and families—someone who learns names, celebrates milestones, shares in a child's excitement, and creates a welcoming environment where every family feels valued, supported, and connected. The relationships you build may become just as meaningful as the skills you teach.

At Sweet Peas, we believe learning should be active, confidence should be celebrated, and every child deserves to feel successful. We also believe that positive relationships are at the heart of every great experience. If you love helping children grow, connecting with families, and creating moments that make a lasting impact, you'll fit right in.
