Mayim Tamid is a unique, multi-day afterschool program that blends high-quality childcare with rich, engaging Jewish learning for children in grades K–4. Our program fosters joyful community, deep relationships, and immersive Jewish experiences through play, project-based learning, and celebration of Jewish life.

We're Looking for Someone Who:

• Loves working with children and understands child development
• Has experience in experiential or informal education settings (camp, afterschool, arts, etc.)
• Is inspired by Jewish tradition and eager to bring it to life with children
• Is a strong communicator and collaborative team player
• Embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion as core educational values

Schedule

• 10-months: Monday, August 18, 2025 - Tuesday, June 16, 2026
• 33-36 hours per week, typically 11:00 am-6:15 pm
