We build strong, confident, high-character kids by developing the whole child—body, brain, and character—through high-energy, coach-led classes. Our program serves ages walking through 11 years old and accelerates milestones through expert coaching, cutting-edge curriculum, and strong parent partnership.

At KidStrong, we’re growing fast and making a lasting impact—and we’re looking for a driven, dynamic Center Director to lead our team, grow our membership, and deliver an exceptional family experience.

✅ Oversee front desk systems: check-ins, guest / trial registration, transactions, delinquent account follow-up, customer care, and schedule changes

✅ Collaborate with the Coaching Team to ensure aligned execution of classes and programs

✅ Manage scheduling, budgets, center cleanliness, and compliance with KidStrong policies and operational standards

✅ Respond promptly to corporate, owner, and member requests

✅ Hire, train, and develop team members

✅ Lead by example—model professionalism, drive, and mission-driven performance

✅ Maintain strong internal communication about trial families, member needs, team updates, etc.

✅ Foster a team culture rooted in ownership, accountability, fun, and continuous improvement
