Our staff's energy and creativity makes Kids After Hours a truly special and unique place for kids to come and have fun. Energetic, Enthusiastic Staff + Variety of Activities + Safe, Secure Surrounding = Fun at KAH. Just like the formula shows, the fun starts with a staff member that is involved and excited about what they are doing. We're also very proud of what it says about our programs, that so many of our former campers and before and after hours kids eventually return to us as staff members. We provide a balance of child initiated and staff directed activities that reflect our kids' interests and backgrounds. We offer both organized activities, such as literacy, cultural arts, S.T.E.M., arts and crafts, sports, monthly clubs, cooking, as well as free play options. By being active listeners we provide a safe and accepting environment for our children. We encourage interactions that lead toward responsibility and respect for others. Our philosophy is that we help everyone, care always, and have fun doing it! Job Summary We are looking for an enthusiastic and accountable staff member that has experience in child care. Our mission wouldn't be complete without staff that are involved and excited about what they are doing each and every day at Kids After Hours. Applicants should be patient, fun-loving, and positive role models and mentors to our kids. Staff members get to know children's individual interests and make sure they apply these into our program. Staff members also develop clubs and activities that are based on our children's preferences and interests.
