I was an after-care program kid growing up! You're good people! It's nice that yours is learning oriented. Mine was mostly playing yard-sale video game consoles. Sorta explains how I turned out, now that I think about it.
Teachers make pretty good parents in my experience, and with a range from 5th grade to high school experience, you'll be pros at handling the raging hormone years long before your kids ever get there! So that's a plus.
I have a buddy who just went out west to work as a National Forest (Park?) Enforcement ranger in Colorado. He really loves it there. That might be worth looking into! And with a masters in education, I'm sure there's plenty of nature preserves that could use help with programming, especially on conservation and eco-friendliness.
Wilderness Advanced First Aid training always looks good to Park services I think. Also if there's any sort of volunteer rural search and rescue squad in your area? If you join up they will occasionally fund classes on things like tracking, survival skills, navigation, etc. focused on wilderness, and they would already likely be working with any large protected parks in your area from time to time when someone gets lost in the woods, etc. My buddy was a physics major who worked (I think) laser optical measurements in school so I think it was mostly his extra-curriclars that led him to the job anyway. He did a lot of hiking and climbing. Next time I talk to him I'll ask him how he found/got the job though!
