Why Work in Recess & After School?
Working in recess is more than just a job—it's a chance to bring joy, energy, and laughter to children's day. You'll be creating a safe, fun space where students can recharge, build friendships, and shine beyond the classroom. Every smile, high-five, and game you lead makes a lasting impact! In after school, you'll help children learn, grow, and succeed in a supportive and creative environment.

As an Apollo Educator, you will:
  • Provide a high-quality learning and play environment that extends the school day.
  • Lead engaging activities and manage groups of students.
  • Ensure the safety and security of all children in your care.
  • Maintain a structured routine and follow the designated schedule/curriculum.
  • Assist with homework and enrichment activities.
  • Build positive relationships with students, parents, and school staff.


We're looking for educators who:

  • Can confidently lead a classroom or activity on their own.
  • Are enthusiastic, patient, caring, and flexible.
  • Have at least one year of experience working with school-age youth (ages 4–10) in a school or after-school setting.
  • Are team players who can collaborate with peers.
  • Can create and maintain a fun, safe, and engaging environment.

A degree in education is highly valued but not required—applicants with relevant experience or related degrees are encouraged to apply.

Perks of Joining Our Team:
  • Career and professional development opportunities.
  • Training in relevant childcare topics.
  • Supportive, collaborative work culture.
  • Schedule flexibility and work-life balance.
