Why Join GAK?

At Gabriel's Art Kids, we believe creativity isn't just something we teach—it's how

we transform lives. Our multi-campus organization has become Bellingham's

creative heartbeat, where art isn't confined to paper but spills into every giggle,

every messy handprint, and every proud parent moment.

You'll be joining a team that just pulled off the spectacular return of the Procession

of the Species after six years (1,000+ attendees!), and we're just getting started.

We're not just another childcare center—we're building tomorrow's innovators, one

finger painting at a time.

Who This Role Is For:
You're perfect for this if you:
Light up when a toddler shows you their "masterpiece" (even if it's just

enthusiastic scribbles)

Can sing "Wheels on the Bus" with genuine enthusiasm for the 47th time

Believe that mess equals learning and see paint-covered tables as victory

flags

Have the magical ability to redirect a tantrum into a teachable moment

Find joy in those breakthrough moments when a shy child finally joins the

music circle

Can channel your inner child while maintaining the authority of an adult

This isn't for you if:
You prefer quiet, predictable workdays

Clean clothes are non-negotiable for you

You think art should stay inside the lines

You're looking for a desk job or solo work environment

Sticky fingers and spontaneous hugs aren't your thing

You believe children should be seen and not heard

The Role:
You'll co-create magical experiences for our tiniest artists (birth-4 years) and their

grown-ups, blending music, movement, and art into multi-sensory adventures.

Think less "sit still and listen" and more "let's make instruments out of recycled

materials while dancing to world music!"

Your Daily Adventure Includes:
Creative Magic Making:
Design process art stations that make parents go "I never thought of that!"

Lead sing-alongs that get even the shyest toddlers wiggling

Transform everyday materials into artistic gold

Guide sensory experiences that build neural pathways (yes, playing with

playdough is brain science!)

Safety & Logistics:
Master the art of herding cats... er, supervising creative youngsters

Ensure every tiny human gets home safely to show off their daily creations

Community Building:
Partner with parents to extend creativity beyond our walls

Help maintain our "organized chaos" aesthetic (emphasis on organized!)

Must-Haves:

Experience with the birth-4 crowd

Musical abilities (perfect pitch not required, enthusiasm absolutely is)

First Aid/CPR certification (or willing to get it ASAP)

Can pass background check and fingerprinting

Physical stamina to keep up with toddler energy levels

Bonus Points For:
Background in arts, music, or education

Experience in after-school or early childhood programs

The ability to clean glitter out of anything

What We Offer:
Beyond competitive pay, you'll join a community that celebrates every

milestone—from first scissors cuts to confident color mixing. You'll go home covered

in paint and filled with purpose, knowing you've sparked creativity that will last a

lifetime.

Our team recently navigated major transitions with grace, and we're building

something special here. If you want to be part of an organization that values both

professional growth and the sacred art of finger painting, we want to hear from

you.
