What are the responsibilities and job description for the PART TIME: Preschool Teacher- Sports and Music position at Stretch-n-Grow Lake Norman?
What if your job looked like this?
You walk into a preschool, hit play on your playlist, and spend the next 30 minutes leading a room full of 3-year-olds through an adventure-themed movement class — and get paid for it.
That's a Tuesday at Stretch-n-Grow.
We are Charlotte's premier in-school enrichment program, bringing certified fitness, music, gymnastics, yoga, sports, and movement classes directly to preschools and childcare centers across the region. Our coaches don't sit behind a desk — they bring the energy, imagination, and enthusiasm that makes kids fall in love with moving their bodies.
This role is for you if:
- Movement, music, or early childhood education is your background — or your passion
- You light up in front of a group of kids and can hold a room with nothing but a drum beat and a big personality
- You want meaningful, flexible, part-time work that doesn't involve nights or weekends
- You're the person who never really stopped loving gym class
This role is probably NOT for you if channeling your inner child sounds exhausting. Our classes run on imagination and energy — and we need coaches who bring both every single time.
What You'll Do
Travel to preschool and childcare partners across the Lake Norman area and lead 30-minute, theme-based classes in fitness, gymnastics, music, or movement for children ages 12 months to 12 years. Lesson plans and all equipment are provided — you bring the coaching magic.

- Background or strong interest in fitness, music, sports, gymnastics, or early childhood education
- Reliable transportation, valid driver's license, and personal auto insurance
