In most AlphaBEST programs, team members must meet the minimum age, education, and training requirements of childcare licensing agencies in order to be able to work independently with a group of students. While some states may have additional guidelines, what matters most is reliability, a positive attitude, and a passion for working with kids. Experience is a plus, but we’ll train you for success.

Work hours and scheduling options depend on the services AlphaBEST provides at the particular school district you are applying to work in. Our preference is to hire individuals who are flexible to work during all program hours so that there is consistency for the students and student-to-staff ratios are maintained. However, we understand that many of our team members balance school and other commitments. We will try our best to work with your availability. In areas where AlphaBEST has summer programs, we have year-round employment opportunities. Our summer programs continue to grow each year, and our goal is to provide as many opportunities for year-round work as possible!

We offer a range of benefits for eligible part-time staff. Visit alphabest.org/benefits to learn more.

AlphaBEST's goal is to hire individuals to work in a school district. You may be assigned to a specific school; however, business needs may require team members to move between locations as needed to ensure staff-to-student ratios are maintained for the safety of our students.

You will lead students in a variety of enrichment adventures, active play, and guide homework time. Our exciting curriculum includes STEM, arts, world cultures, and more, along with time for student-led exploration.

In order to work with students in our program, training includes a blend of mandatory state training, along with training and information from AlphaBEST, which enables you to do your job to the best of your ability! We partner with AB Studios to use a video-facilitated curriculum that requires you to bring your energy and passion for learning to the table as you pause the videos and engage with students to do fun activities related to the lesson.

If you bring your love of helping students learn and grow, AlphaBEST provides the resources you need to guide our students on a fun-filled adventure each day!

It is a big responsibility to ensure the safety and security of our students each and every day. That is why it is so important for our team members to be “present” mentally and physically during each scheduled shift. We must earn and maintain the trust that the parents and school administrators place in AlphaBEST to care for the students we serve.

Seeing the smiles on our students’ faces each day when they show up to our program, knowing that they will have fun in our program as they learn new things! It is a great accomplishment to know at the end of each day that students are safe, parents are happy, and school administrators love having AlphaBEST as a partner.
