Afterschool Program Director

Are you the person everyone naturally looks to when things get busy?

Do you notice what needs to happen—and take care of it before someone has to ask?

Hermitage BEST Kids is looking for a warm, confident, highly organized
Program Director
to take ownership of our growing after-school program in Hermitage/Nashville.

This isn’t a position where you’ll spend the afternoon stuck in one classroom. You’ll be the person overseeing the
whole program
—leading our coaching team, managing transitions, supporting approximately 70 incredible kids, communicating with families, solving problems, maintaining high standards, and making sure every afternoon feels safe, organized, engaging, and FUN.

Monday–Friday, approximately 12:30–6:30 PM

$21–$23/hour, based on experience

Approximately 30 hours/week

This could be an especially great fit for an
educator, assistant childcare director, youth-program coordinator, camp director, recreation professional, or experienced team leader
looking for a meaningful leadership position while keeping mornings free.

• Is exceptionally organized and dependable
• Communicates clearly and professionally
• Is warm and confident with children and families
• Can lead, coach, and hold a team accountable
• Remains calm and decisive when things get busy
• Notices problems and takes initiative to solve them
• Can create structure without losing the FUN
• Takes genuine ownership of the experience they lead

Experience in after-school programming, education, childcare leadership, camps, recreation, youth programming, or team management is a plus—but
leadership, initiative, organization, and judgment matter enormously to us.

You’ll lead the daily BEST Kids experience, including staff preparation and accountability, student arrival and dismissal, activities and transitions, behavior support, family communication, transportation operations, safety, organization, and overall program quality.

Our goal is simple:

Create an after-school experience families LOVE—and a program that operates with excellence every single day.
