Job Description
Life’s too short to not work somewhere AWESOME.
If you love working with kids, thrive in a high-energy environment, and want a role where you can lead, teach, and make a real impact—this might be the perfect fit.
At The Little Gym, we help children ages 3–12 years build confidence through movement, skill-building, and imaginative play. We’re looking for an enthusiastic, dependable, and engaging instructor to lead our independent classes for Pre-K and Grade School students.
Schedule
🗓 Part-time afternoons/evenings:
- 2–4 days per week
- Typical hours: 3:00–7:00 PM

- Follow The Little Gym curriculum to teach skills, build confidence, and create a fun class experience (we’ll train you!)
- Manage a group of children independently while keeping them engaged, safe, and progressing
- Adapt on the fly—every class is a little different, and that’s part of the fun
- Build relationships with families through strong pre- and post-class communication
- Support daily operations, including class prep, transitions, and keeping the gym organized
What Makes This Role Special
This is where kids really start to grow their independence—and you get to lead that journey.
You’ll be the coach, the cheerleader, and the role model helping kids try new things, build confidence, and celebrate their wins (big and small).
You’ll Thrive Here If You…
- Love working with kids and bring energy, structure, and positivity
- Are confident leading a group and keeping multiple kids engaged at once

- Paid training and opportunities to grow within the company
- A role that’s active, meaningful, and never boring
