Imagine a learning environment where every play interaction generates actionable developmental insights.
Alpha reimagines early education from the ground up. Our PreK model fuses play-centered curriculum development with live developmental tracking — free from scripted lessons and procedural checklists. You will architect adaptive learning experiences spanning all developmental domains, mentor a team of Guides to execute them with both rigor and warmth, and monitor quantifiable milestone attainment for each child under your direction.
This role balances strategic oversight with direct classroom engagement. Approximately one-third of your time will be spent in learning environments — demonstrating facilitation methods, conducting observations, and leading alignment sessions. The remainder focuses on curriculum architecture, coaching Guides toward concrete performance benchmarks, and delivering data-informed family communications. The outcomes will be visible: four-year-olds reaching developmental markers ahead of schedule, Guide performance metrics improving consistently, and families becoming program champions.

What you will be doing
- Conduct individual and small-group coaching for PreK Guides, demonstrating techniques and recognizing quantifiable progress
- Architect and lead play-based learning experiences integrating social-emotional learning, literacy, numeracy, and motor development, exemplifying excellence for your team
- Evaluate and align Guide documentation on a weekly basis for rubric consistency and practical application, facilitating calibration meetings to maintain milestone tracking visibility
- Develop family communications and conduct team alignment meetings that synchronize priorities and strengthen collective commitment to campus-wide PreK readiness objectives
What you will NOT be doing
- Executing prescriptive lesson plans or procedure-focused protocols — you'll create responsive, play-centered themes informed by live developmental data
- Implementing a predetermined curriculum cascaded from leadership — you control quarterly and weekly learning architecture
- Operating independently without structured feedback mechanisms — coaching dialogues and calibration forums are embedded weekly
- Overseeing K-12 learners using application-based platforms — this position centers entirely on early childhood, tactile, in-classroom engagement
