  • Teach both in our Wixom studio and at mobile locations throughout the surrounding communities.
  • Create a fun, safe, positive, and encouraging environment where every child feels successful.
  • Encourage creativity, build confidence, and make every child feel like an artist.
  • Prepare, organize, and clean up art materials before and after each class.
  • Follow lesson plans while bringing your own energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to every class.
  • Help maintain classrooms, supplies, and materials so they're always ready for the next creative adventure.
  • Communicate professionally with parents, caregivers, school staff, and fellow team members.
  • Represent Kidcreate Studio with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude wherever you teach.
  • Get a kick out of making a mess—and believe kids should be messy too!
We're Looking for Someone Who...

  • Is proactive and enjoys finding solutions before problems arise.
  • Has strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Doesn't mind getting a little messy—paint, clay, glitter, and slime are all part of the fun!
  • Loves working with kids and believes creativity should be celebrated.
  • Is comfortable being on their feet throughout the day and helping wherever needed.
  • Has reliable transportation.
  • Is excited to support a fun, energetic team and help create unforgettable experiences for children and families.
Here's What You Get
