At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves.

Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?
Are you comfortable leading groups of kids on your own while still collaborating with a team?
Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 year old's bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press a kindergartener (just kidding -- can you lift up to 40lbs)?
Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge & learning something new (even if a third grade is doing the teaching)?
