Before & After School Coordinator, Long-Term Split Shift

Before & After Care Coordinator

Are you dependable, organized, energetic, and someone others can truly count on?

Bright Side Early Care & Learning Center is looking for a Before & After Care Coordinator to help lead our School Age Program for children ages 5 to 12.

For this position, dependability, consistency, and taking ownership of the program are more important to us than having many years of childcare experience.

We are looking for someone who wants a long-term role, takes pride in being reliable, and can confidently help keep our Before & After Care Program running smoothly each day.

Schedule

• Monday through Friday split shift
• Morning: 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM
• Afternoon: 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM
• Applicants must be available and committed to working both portions of the split shift consistently
• At times, additional hours may be available between shifts to assist with classroom coverage and staff breaks
• During school closures, winter break, and spring break, our School Age Program operates full days, with shifts of up to 8 hours
• Summer Camp: This position becomes a full-time Monday through Friday position during our summer program, approximately May 20 through August 4

The Most Important Qualities for This Role

We are looking for someone who:

• Demonstrates exceptional dependability and punctuality
• Is committed to the split-shift schedule for the long term
• Takes responsibility for making sure the program runs smoothly
• Notices what needs to be done and takes initiative without waiting to be asked
• Communicates early and professionally when issues arise
• Can confidently lead and supervise groups of school-age children
• Maintains appropriate expectations, structure, and routines
• Treats the program as something they are responsible for, not simply a shift they are assigned to
• Brings a positive, mature, and professional attitude to work each day

What You'll Do

• Help coordinate the daily operation of the Before & After Care Program
• Create a fun, structured, and positive environment for children ages 5 to 12
• Lead games, enrichment activities, projects, and recreational experiences
• Assist students with homework and encourage positive study habits
• Maintain appropriate supervision, routines, and behavior expectations
• Communicate professionally with children, parents, teachers, and management
• Help ensure children arrive at and depart from the program safely and on schedule
• Safely transport children to and from local elementary schools and field trips using Bright Side vehicles
• Keep the program organized, prepared, and ready for each day
• Step in and solve routine issues as they arise rather than waiting for constant direction
