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 before and after school. 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. You will also benefit from a flexible split schedule that can support school, family responsibilities, or additional commitments.

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.

Requirements

• Educational Requirements: Bachelor’s degree required; degree in Early Childhood Education, Business Administration, or a related field strongly preferred.
• Experience: Five (5) years of professional experience working with children ages 5–12. Minimum of five (5) years of leadership experience in a childcare, education, or youth-serving organization. Experience supervising staff, managing performance, and supporting consistent program operations. Strong administrative and organizational skills in a service-oriented environment. Experience using registration, enrollment, and attendance management systems. Proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Excel, Word, Teams).
• Qualifications: Excellent customer service and parent engagement skills. Proven ability to build, mentor, and retain strong teams. Understanding of staffing models, payroll management, and operational expenses. Must meet all NJ DCF health requirements and be able to perform essential job functions.

Qualifications

• Candidates must successfully pass all required state background checks.
• Requires the ability to meet physical demands, including bending, stretching, lifting, and carrying up to 50 pounds, and actively engaging with energetic children.
• The ideal candidate demonstrates a positive, professional demeanor and strong interpersonal skills when working with children, families, and colleagues, along with a consistent record of reliability and punctuality.
