Afternoon Club Teacher (Early Childhood)

Enrichment Teacher

Schedule: Monday-Friday 12pm-6pm

Pay Rate: $20/hour

Location: 94th Street: 345 E 94th St, New York, NY 10128

About us:

New York Preschool & Kids Club is a premier early childhood education and enrichment program serving modern New York families through our combination of enrichment classes and preschool education. With multiple schools across New York City, NYPKC blends a research-backed, play-based curriculum with a fun and supportive environment, delivering a full family experience for children and parents.

About the Role

We are seeking a high-energy Enrichment Teacher to provide New York City’s 0 to 6-year-olds with a foundation for lifelong learning through our incredible enrichment classes. In this "jack of all trades" role, you are part athlete, part scientist, and part performer- transitioning seamlessly from spotting a budding gymnast on the bars, to leading a "mad science" experiment, or coaching a parent and toddler through their very first steps. As a natural storyteller with a flair for the dramatic and a heart for early childhood development, you will turn every lesson into a core memory, ensuring our youngest learners feel confident, inspired, and excited to explore the world around them.

What You’ll Do

• The Enrichment Chameleon: Lead and co-lead a dynamic range of classes for children ages 0 to 6. You seamlessly pivot between our diverse classes and age groups to keep every lesson fresh and every class special.
• The Developmental Architect: Use structured and unstructured play, art, music, gymnastics, and STEM to build a child’s confidence and coordination. You’ll curate a "safe to fail" environment where a shaky first step or a messy art project is celebrated as a vital leap in their lifelong learning journey.
• The Proactive Problem Solver: Master the art of the transition and the "behind-the-scenes" flow. Whether it’s resetting a gym circuit, organizing a classroom, or jumping in to assist a teammate, you tackle daily operations with a "ready-for-anything" attitude.
• The Family Partner: Build trust with parents and caregivers through daily updates, sharing the successes and challenges of their child’s day, and building a bridge between school and home.
