Your talent fits our kiddos.Programs run mornings and afternoons, so your midday stays yours and your evenings do too. Already work in a school? You're closer than you think. If you're an educational assistant, a substitute teacher, a recent B.Ed. grad waiting on a contract, an education student, or a retired teacher who still loves the energy of kids, you already have what we're looking for. You know school-age children, you know school routines, and you know how to bring a group to life. Those skills transfer on day one, and our before- and after-school hours stack naturally around EA and sub schedules. And if your goal is to get into schools, this is one of the best ways in.
