For many families, Kids Club is more than childcare-it's a place where children can learn, explore, build friendships, and feel supported. As a Program Assistant, you'll help create the experiences that make that possible.

  • Encourage friendships, teamwork, and positive social skills.
  • Create moments that help kids feel seen, supported, and successful.
  • Keep things running smoothly while balancing fun, safety, and structure.

  • Partner with families and school staff to support each child's growth.
  • Leave each day knowing you've made a difference in a child's life.

This is not a complete list of the responsibilities of this position. Duties may change at any time.
Who Are You?

  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Qualified Employer
  • Retirement Savings Opportunities
