Apollo After School is a national curriculum-based enrichment and childcare program. We offer parents before-school and after-school childcare 5 days a week, with a focus on Social-Emotional Learning and Project-Based Learning. We are looking for caring, patient, and enthusiastic childcare professionals to provide a safe, fun, and friendly classroom experience for our students at local PK-8 schools. Our staff is expected to apply their own unique creativity as educators within the framework of our research-based extended day curriculum. Education is a team effort – our staff must work closely with fellow colleagues, parents, and school personnel to provide a positive learning environment for our students.

As an Apollo Site Director, you will be responsible for the implementation of our extended-day program at your site. You will work closely with Apollo senior leadership and support staff to ensure our program exceeds school, parent, and student expectations. Site Directors also coordinate a team of instructors (depending on program enrollment).

As a site director, your responsibilities will be:

• Provide a safe, fun, and friendly learning environment for our students.
• Ensure the safety, security, and supervision of our students at all times.
• Apollo After School is inclusive learning and work environment – making all students, colleagues, and community partners feel safe, welcome, and included is the responsibility of every Apollo employee.
• Work together with supervisors and colleagues on the implementation of the daily Apollo program structure – attendance, snack time, homework help, physical activities, enrichment activities, supervised free play, transition times, and dismissal.
• Supervise all aspects of your site’s before and after-school program.
• Manage daily program operations and logistics, in coordination with Apollo leadership.
• Build and maintain positive relationships with all participants, parents, school staff, and administration.
• Ensure that the program operates in compliance with all state and local licensing requirements.
• Coordinate program staff and promote their professional growth and development by assisting in training and coaching, conducting classroom observations to assess and evaluate staff on a consistent basis, and resolving any issues that arise with the assistance of Apollo leadership.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records, attendance, and dismissal data. Meet data entry deadlines. Gather, review, and use program data for program improvement and parent communication.
• Practice a daily safety checklist.
• Help ensure our program content supports school-mandated goals and outcomes.
• Communicate regularly with students’ parents/guardians during pick-up times, working together on student successes and challenges.
• Implement and apply both Apollo and site-specific Code of Conducts.
• Comply with all federal, state, and local safety, health, and licensing requirements.
• Assist in maintaining all required documentation, such as incident and accident reports, inventory, and parent communication.
• Assess and solve problems associated with the supervision of PK-8 students.
• Integrate successfully with your school’s unique community – we are all partners in our students’ growth and well-being.
• Command the attention and facilitate the coordination of our full student group, whenever required by the classroom situation. Must be able to manage a classroom by yourself when the situation requires it.
• Full participation in all paid training and ongoing professional development initiatives.
