Summer Camp Teacher

Kids Summer Camp is looking for a Summer Camp Teacher

Why we exist

Best Day Ever is our focus and goal. Best Day Ever is the idea that we can have our Best Day Ever within the context of whatever life brings you. Our goal is to help our staff members, parents, and kids (when they’re 35) all find their Best Day Ever!

Who we are
Parents need to work to be able to provide for their families. But while they are at work, they worry about their child’s development and happiness. On top of it all, quality daycares cost so much that almost all of their work income goes back to childcare.

It is our mission to partner with 20 families by offering excellent and affordable early childcare and education that doesn’t break the bank, because parents need to work but the early years are the foundation to raising amazing adults.

What you’ll be doing
Summer Camp Teachers are really the heart of the camp. You get to consistently invest in these amazing children each day; guiding them as they grow, and building an excellent foundation for the future adults they will become. You are also one of the primary contact points for parents, as you send home daily reports of how their child is doing.

All Kids Summer Camp staff members should help to create an environment where children have the opportunity to develop social-emotional, language, intellectual, and physical skills. Staff should promote a Christian environment where children will learn positive morals and values for daily life.

We smile. We grow. We encourage.
