We're not looking for someone who just likes kids. We're looking for the one who walks into a room and kids instantly light up. The one who can take a small group of 3–5 year olds and turn chaotic energy into structured learning—without killing the fun. Someone who can be silly, animated, and fully in it… while still leading with clarity and confidence.

We know—we're looking for a unicorn. At The Little Gym of Vancouver, our Preschool Instructors don't just run classes—they create the kind of early childhood experiences kids carry with them as core memories. We build confidence, independence, and "I did it myself" moments. And yes… a lot of giggles.

• Lead high-energy, structured classes for preschool-aged children (3–5 years)
• Turn our weekly lesson plans into playful, engaging experiences kids can't wait to come back to
• Confidently manage group behavior, activity transitions, and short attention spans
• Use your voice, presence, and personality to keep kids focused, moving, and having fun
• Create a space where kids feel safe when they try, fail, and try again
• Connect with parents in a way that builds trust and excitement about their child's progress
• Track and communicate student progress with professionalism to parents and peers
• Perform daily disinfecting and deep cleaning duties to keep our facility germ-free and looking fresh.

• Kids are naturally drawn to you—you're a kid magnet!
• You can be big, expressive, and a little ridiculous… and still fully in control
• You know how to hold a boundary without losing warmth
• You bring positive energy to every shift because you know it's about the kids
• You notice the quiet kid, celebrate the small wins, and make every child feel seen
• You show up consistently—because these kids rely on you

• Early childhood education, gymnastics, dance, cheer, coaching, or fitness

• You get to be fully yourself—big personalities encouraged
• You'll see real growth in kids (first rolls, first jumps, first "I did it!" moments)
• You're not stuck behind a desk—you're moving, playing, and leading
• We'll teach you everything you need to know—no gymnastics background required
• You'll be part of a team that cares about doing this really well (not just getting through the day)
