Preschool Activity Instructor – Ninja & Parent Classes
Silver 7 Martial Arts | Ottawa, ON

Can you turn a room full of little ones into an excited, engaged group ready to learn? We want to meet you.

Silver 7 Martial Arts is looking for an outgoing, energetic, and highly motivated instructor to lead our preschool Ninja & Parent classes.

These classes introduce young children to movement, confidence, and foundational martial arts activities alongside a parent or caregiver. We’re looking for someone who can make every class welcoming, purposeful, and fun—and help us grow the program.

Your background could be in dance, gymnastics, sports coaching, early childhood education, recreation, or children’s programming. Martial arts experience is an asset, but it is not required. Experience leading young children and the ability to deliver an excellent class are essential.

The prospect

You’ll help preschool-aged children develop balance, coordination, listening skills, and confidence through movement games, obstacle courses, and introductory martial arts activities.

You’ll also guide parents and caregivers so they feel comfortable participating and supporting their child.

This role will begin with Ninja & Parent classes, with the potential to expand into additional classes and responsibilities as the program grows and you demonstrate success.

What you’ll do

- Lead engaging, structured classes for preschool-aged children and their parents or caregivers.
- Use games, movement activities, and simple challenges to develop foundational physical skills.
- Give clear,



age-appropriate instructions and keep transitions between activities moving smoothly.
- Guide caregivers on how to participate and encourage their child.
- Help hesitant children feel comfortable while keeping enthusiastic participants engaged.
- Set clear expectations and respond to challenging moments with patience and sound judgment.
- Prepare activities, set up equipment, and maintain a safe, organized teaching space.
- Build positive relationships with families through friendly, professional communication.
- Bring ideas, take initiative, and apply feedback to continually improve the class experience.

What you must bring

- Previous hands-on experience leading preschool-aged children in dance, gymnastics, sports, recreation, education, or a similar setting.
- An outgoing personality and the energy to lead an active, engaging class.
- Excellent communication skills with both young children and adults.
- The confidence to lead a group while remaining patient, encouraging, and adaptable.
- Strong preparation, punctuality, and follow-through.
- A commitment to children’s safety, inclusion, and well-being.
- A willingness to learn our teaching approach and grow with the program.




- Current First Aid and CPR certification.
- A satisfactory Vulnerable Sector Check before beginning work with children.

What will make you stand out

- Experience teaching parent-and-child classes.
- A proven ability to plan and independently lead preschool activities.
- Creative ideas that keep children engaged while supporting clear learning goals.
- Examples of helping a hesitant child participate or adapting an activity to meet different needs.
- Experience helping develop or grow a children’s program.

Who will thrive here

You bring enthusiasm, but you also bring preparation. You notice when a child needs encouragement, know when to change your approach, and make parents feel welcome and involved.

You take pride in delivering a class that families look forward to attending. You’re motivated to build something, contribute to a team, and earn greater responsibility through the quality of your work.
