Teaching Assistant

We’re looking for a warm, enthusiastic, and hands-on Assistant to join our children’s studio team. This role is perfect for someone who loves working with kids, has a creative spark, and enjoys supporting the magic of the creative process. This is not a traditional classroom—our space is a dynamic, hands-on environment where children explore art, design, science, and invention through open-ended experiences. The Assistant plays a key role in supporting facilitators, inspiring kids to experiment and problem-solve, and encouraging them to express themselves creatively. You’ll help manage materials and inventories, as well as transitions from different spaces, ensuring that every child feels seen and supported.

· Ask open-ended questions to promote reflection and deeper engagement

Studio Environment & Materials Management

· Help prepare, set up, and reset workstations and project materials before and after sessions

· Keep tools and supplies organized, clean, and safely stored

· Prepare ingredients required for sensory play and other sessions

Child Engagement & Wellbeing

· Monitor group dynamics and provide gentle guidance to support cooperation and inclusion

· Stay attuned to each child’s emotional and physical wellbeing and notify the lead facilitator as needed

· Carry out guided play sessions and brainstorm different themes to base play around

Team Collaboration

· Communicate actively with the Wonder Works team to identify ways of supporting daily flow of activities

· Bring ideas and insights to the team that help enhance learning experiences and studio culture
