Full Job Description

The Stamford JCC is seeking an energetic and dependable KidsPlace Coordinator to lead the day-to-day delivery of our year-round childcare programming for children in grades K–5. This is a direct-service leadership role for an early-career professional who wants to build a career in youth development and childcare within a mission-driven JCC environment.

The Coordinator owns the operation and experience of KidsPlace After School and our extended-care calendar — Kids Night Out, vacation day and no-school day camps, and weekend and holiday programming — ensuring families always have a safe, joyful, and reliable place for their children when school is out. This year-round childcare work is the core of the role (roughly 80% of the year). During the summer, the Coordinator steps into a defined leadership seat as a Unit Head and member of the Camp Leadership Team for Day Camps@The J (roughly 20% of the year). The position reports to the Director of Youth & Camping.

Key Responsibilities

KidsPlace After School (Primary Responsibility)

Serve as the on-site lead for KidsPlace After School, supporting the daily safety, supervision, and engagement of children in grades K–5.
Supervise, coach, and schedule the part-time and seasonal staff who deliver the program, modeling a hands-on approach by participating in activities alongside children.
Create age-appropriate group assignments, daily schedules, and activity plans that balance homework support, enrichment, recreation, and free play.
Manage daily attendance, sign-in/sign-out, and authorized-pickup procedures with strict adherence to child-safety protocols.

Year-Round Childcare Programming

Plan and run extended-care programming on the days families need it most: Kids Night Out, vacation day and no-school day camps, teacher in-service days, and holiday and weekend childcare.
Build a recurring calendar of K–5 childcare offerings aligned to local school district closures, and coordinate staffing, supplies, and logistics for each session.
Develop and lead theme days, special events, and family touchpoints that strengthen retention and grow enrollment across the year-round childcare portfolio.
Maintain continuity of care so that KidsPlace, vacation programming, and camp feel like one connected experience for families.

Camp Unit Head — Day Camps@The J (Summer, ~20% of role)

Serve as a Unit Head and member of the Camp Leadership Team, supervising the counselors and daily schedule for an assigned camp unit and ensuring every camper has a safe and memorable summer.
Partner with the Director of Youth and Camp and Leadership Team on staff training, camper placement, and program quality, and leverage school-year relationships to transition KidsPlace families smoothly into summer camp.

Operational Coordination

Coordinate both operational and programmatic elements across KidsPlace and the year-round childcare calendar.
Facilitate timely, professional communication among parents/guardians, participants, and staff, and resolve day-to-day issues as they arise.
Maintain accurate program records, track participation and enrollment, and support program evaluation and continuous improvement.

Team Collaboration & Leadership

Work collaboratively with the Youth Programming Team across KidsPlace, Day Camps@The J, enrichment classes, major events, and holiday programs.
Support staff recruitment, onboarding, and training, and participate in ongoing professional development.
Accept additional assignments as given by the Director of Youth & Camping, the Associate Executive Director, or the CEO of the JCC.

Required Qualifications

Experience & Education

1–3 years of experience working with school-age children in formal or informal settings (after-school programs, camp, youth organizations).
1+ year of experience managing, supervising, or developing children’s programming.
Bachelor’s degree in Recreation, Education, Child Development, or a related field preferred.

Essential Skills & Attributes

Highly organized and process-oriented, with the ability to be both focused and flexible in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Excellent communication skills — listening, written, and verbal.
Warm, cheerful, patient, and nurturing, with genuine enthusiasm for working with children.
Able to work effectively with diverse children, families, educators, and co-workers.
Flexible, mature, and responsible, and a self-motivated team player ready to contribute to a vibrant and busy environment.

Physical & Certification Requirements

Current CPR, First Aid, and AED certification for adults/children/infants (or willingness to obtain before the start date).
Schedule flexibility to cover after-school hours, occasional evenings and weekends (Kids Night Out, special events), school-closure days, and full-day summer camp.
Ability to actively participate in physical activities with children, including swimming and outdoor recreation.
Capability to work in various indoor and outdoor environments across the JCC’s 15-acre campus.

Pay: $50,000.00 - $55,000.00 per year
