Description

Healthy Kids Programs is hiring a Part-Time Site Director who is ready to step into a leadership role, make a daily impact on children’s lives, and enjoy a flexible schedule with a rare benefit of employer-paid childcare.

LOCATION: Los Ninos Elementary School in Las Vegas, NM

PAY: $21.00 - $25.00 per hour

JOB STATUS: Part-Time, Non-Exempt

Schedule:

  • Monday–Thursday: 3:00 to 6:00 PM
  • Fridays: Hours vary between 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Featured Benefit: Employer-Paid Childcare

Healthy Kids Programs provides childcare for children (ages 5–12) enrolled in our program on the days and during the hours you work. Employer contributions cover the cost of care, so you can focus on your job while your child participates in a safe, structured, and engaging program, all without needing to arrange outside care.

Why This Role Stands Out

This position offers more than a typical part-time job in childcare. You will step into a leadership role where your work directly shapes a positive, structured, and engaging environment for children.
