Description
- On-site role in Austin, TX. Relocation assistance available
- $150,000 annual salary, paid weekly
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage from day one
Every play interaction can serve as a gateway to documented developmental progress.
Alpha's approach to education breaks from conventional models. Our PreK framework integrates play-based instructional design with live developmental tracking — no prescriptive lesson plans, no bureaucratic checklists. You will architect flexible learning experiences spanning all developmental readiness areas, guide a team of Guides to implement them with both accuracy and enthusiasm, and monitor quantifiable milestone advancement for each child.
This role demands active, classroom-level engagement. Approximately one-third of your time will be classroom-based — demonstrating facilitation methods, observing instruction, and facilitating alignment sessions. The remainder involves curriculum architecture, coaching Guides toward concrete performance benchmarks, and delivering evidence-backed family communications. Your contributions will be visible: four-year-olds achieving milestones ahead of schedule, Guides advancing their effectiveness metrics consistently, and families becoming champions of the program.

What you will be doing
- Facilitate individual and small-group coaching for PreK Guides, demonstrating methods and recognizing quantifiable progress
- Architect and lead play-based instructional sessions integrating social-emotional learning, literacy, numeracy, and motor development, exemplifying excellence for the teaching team
- Evaluate and align Guide documentation on a weekly basis for rubric consistency and clarity, conducting alignment sessions to maintain milestone transparency
- Develop family communications and conduct team briefings that synchronize priorities and strengthen collective commitment to campus PreK readiness targets
What you will NOT be doing
- Executing prescriptive lesson plans or process-heavy protocols — you will build responsive, play-centered experiences informed by live developmental data
- Implementing a static curriculum provided from leadership — you control quarterly and weekly instructional planning
- Operating independently without structured feedback — coaching dialogues and calibration meetings are embedded weekly
- Supporting K-12 learners on software-based platforms — this position centers exclusively on early childhood, hands-on classroom engagement
Key responsibilities
Elevate campus PreK readiness performance through guide development, program consistency, and engaging, evidence-informed classroom environments.
