Job description
Position Summary:
Early Alpine Academy is hiring caring, energetic team members for our Extended Care program. During this important end-of-day role, your number one responsibility is the children: actively engaging them in play, creating new and exciting activities each day, and making sure every child feels safe, joyful, and cared for during their time with you. Once the children are picked up, the focus shifts to closing down the space—cleaning, resetting, and preparing the environment for the next day.
This role is ideal for someone who is creative, dependable, and excited to take ownership of both the fun and the function of the afternoon program.
