Twist N Flip Gymnastics is looking for an energetic, organized, and experienced Department Head – Preschool Program to lead and grow our Preschool Academy and Preschool programs at our Rotterdam location.

Monitor class performance and identify opportunities to improve enrollment, efficiency, and customer experience.
Help create a preschool environment where children are excited to learn and families feel confident in our program.
Support preschool events and activities that encourage enrollment and retention.
Coach & Build an Exceptional Curriculum
Coach Preschool Academy and Preschool Gymnastics classes.
Create bi-weekly lesson plans that are engaging, age-appropriate, progressive, and aligned with TNF standards.
Ensure coaching staff understand and can confidently execute lesson plans.

Organize activities that support children's physical, social, and developmental growth.
Float between classes to support coaches, students, and families and address issues as they arise.
Lead & Develop Your Coaching Team
Mentor, train, and support preschool coaches.
Ensure staff maintain required TNF certifications and participate in ongoing training.
Conduct quality-control observations and provide constructive coaching and feedback.
Present preschool-specific training and updates during monthly staff meetings.
Recognize great performance and address challenges quickly, professionally, and privately.
Help create a team culture that is positive, accountable, collaborative, and focused on continuous improvement.
Build Strong Family Relationships
Welcome new students and help them transition comfortably into the program.
Maintain consistent, professional communication with parents and caregivers.
Be visible and approachable during class hours.
Listen to families, address concerns, and help create an exceptional customer experience.
Stay Organized & Accountable
Complete lesson plans, quality-control checklists, staff training documentation, reports, and other administrative responsibilities on time.
Accurately track time worked.
Complete administrative responsibilities during designated non-class hours.
Assist with purchasing and maintaining preschool props, equipment, and decorations.
Cover classes and participate in Saturday events as needed, including approximately one Saturday event per month.

A natural leader who enjoys developing other coaches.
Confident working independently and making good decisions without constant supervision.
Organized, dependable, and able to manage multiple priorities.
Professional, friendly, positive, and comfortable communicating with families.

Children are engaged, learning, and excited to come back.
Families trust our coaches and feel connected to the program.
Coaches are trained, supported, certified, and confident.
Lesson plans and program standards are consistently executed.
