About Us
Gan Shalom Nursery School is a warm, close-knit early childhood community where children are known, supported, and cared for. Our after care program gives children a safe, engaging, and predictable end to their school day through snack, enrichment activities, outdoor or indoor play, and calm transitions to pickup.

Position Overview
We are hiring reliable After Care Educators to support children ages 2–5 during our afternoon program. This is a great role for college students, education majors, high school seniors who are 18+, emerging educators, or experienced childcare professionals looking for consistent afternoon hours.
You do not need to have a formal education degree, but you do need to be dependable, attentive, safety-minded, and comfortable actively engaging with young children.

What Success Looks Like in This Role
You are successful when children are safe, supervised, engaged, and accounted for throughout the afternoon. You participate fully during vendor-led activities, support snack and play, help children with toileting or diapering as needed, and communicate clearly with the After Care Coordinator and teaching team.
