SummaryAn after-school teacher supervises and nurtures children after regular school hours by creating a safe, engaging environment. Their duties include planning age-appropriate educational and recreational activities, assisting with homework, maintaining a clean classroom, and communicating with parents. This role requires patience, strong communication skills, strong teamwork skills and the ability to manage behavior while fostering a child's overall development, including physical, social, and academic growth. Most after-school teachers work shifts ranging from 12pm-6pm or 2or3pm-6pm. Afterschool teachers that work 12pm-6pm help cover teacher breaks, as well as, any needs throughout the center before transitioning to after-school. Our after-school teachers are also given the opportunity to work our school break camps. School break camp, as well as summer camp, is a full day care program that is held for school-aged students when county schools are closed. This gives part-time afterschool teachers the opportunity to work full-time if desired. If full-time is not desired, part-time afterschool teachers are still required to work their regular shift when school break camps are being held, unless previously discussed and approved.Duties
