My Treehouse Club

Want to Be the Next Ms. Rachel, The Wiggles, Blippi, or Barney?

Experienced Children’s Instructors Wanted
Part-Time Position | Growth Opportunities Available
Location: Kakaʻako, Honolulu

Have you ever watched a children’s entertainer and thought, “I could do that”?

Are you energetic, animated, confident, a little silly, and passionate about helping children learn? We want to meet you.

At My Treehouse Club, we sing, dance, tell stories, perform puppet shows, lead obstacle courses, celebrate milestones, and turn learning into something children cannot wait to experience again.

But we are not entertainers pretending to teach. We are educators who understand that children learn best when they are engaged, excited, moving, and having fun.

Every song teaches a concept. Every obstacle course builds confidence. Every activity helps children grow socially, emotionally, physically, or academically.

If you are looking for a quiet classroom where you sit at a table all day, this probably is not the position for you. If you want to become the teacher children run toward when they walk through the door, keep reading.
