Job Description:

InMotion After School is a national curriculum-based enrichment and childcare program. We offer parents before-school and after-school childcare 5 days a week, with a focus on Social-Emotional Learning and Project-Based Learning. We are looking for caring, patient, and enthusiastic childcare professionals to provide a safe, fun, and friendly classroom experience for our students at local PK-8 schools. Our staff is expected to apply their own unique creativity as educators within the framework of our research-based extended day curriculum.

As an InMotion Site Director, you will be responsible for the implementation of our extended-day program at your site. You will work closely with InMotion senior leadership and support staff to ensure our program exceeds school, parent, and student expectations.

• Provide a safe, fun, and friendly learning environment for our students.

• Comply with all federal, state, and local safety, health, and licensing requirements.
• Assist in maintaining all required documentation, such as incident and accident reports, inventory, and parent communication.
• Assess and solve problems associated with the supervision of PK-8 students.
• Integrate successfully with your school's unique community – we are all partners in our students' growth and well-being.
• Command the attention and facilitate the coordination of our full student group, whenever required by the classroom situation. Must be able to manage a classroom by yourself when the situation requires.
