The Little Gym
Smithtown, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 6/5/2024 CLOSED ON 7/3/2024

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Program Director position at The Little Gym?

Life’s too short to not work someplace awesome! If you have tons of energy, love kids and are looking for a way to give back to your community, you may be the person we are looking for!

What we expect from you…
  • Teach amazing classes based on our proven curriculum and teaching method (don’t worry, we’ll teach you how!)
  • Provide outstanding customer service and membership experience. We treat our members like family here.
  • Our parallel bars are high and so are our standards! You’ll be the one to oversee our program quality to ensure every class meets or exceeds the curriculum expectations put forth by The Little Gym International.
  • Okay TEAM, let’s get in formation! You’ll be training & evaluating the team to keep everyone at the top of their game to help us maintain our bragging rights as #1 Children’s Fitness Franchise.

You’d fit in here if…
  • You’re totally open to being a goofball and love giving high 5’s. (A background in child development, physical education and/or gymnastics helps as well)
  • You live to serve! Making others feel good makes you feel good.
  • Kids really like you, but their parents really like you too.
  • You were voted most likely to be in a good mood by your high school class mates.
  • You love to have fun but you know when to buckle down and do work.

You may think we’re awesome because…
  • Kids walk out of our classes more confident than when they walked in every single day.
  • You’ll get your steps in and close your activity rings while you work because you’ll be moving all day.
  • We take our fun pretty seriously but also take the role we play in our community and with each child we meet seriously. The relationships you’ll build here will last a lifetime.
  • You could get paid to fold t-shirts or you could get paid to act like a dinosaur. The choice is yours.
  • This may not be your career but we are sure going to train you like it is.

But seriously read the fine print…
