Early Childhood Coach   $100,000 USD/year

Description

  • Location: Dorado, Puerto Rico (on-site) | Compensation: $100,000/year | Full-time: 40 hours/week

If you prefer scripted lesson plans and orderly classrooms, this isn't the right fit. This position requires someone who can take charge of a room with 10–15 young children, sustain high energy throughout the day, and maintain rigorous standards without compromise. You will provide real-time coaching on behavior, attention, and task completion, and you will demand mastery rather than settle for simple participation.

Alpha is an AI-powered private school founded on one core principle: children can achieve core academic competencies more rapidly through adaptive learning technology, freeing time to develop the life skills that determine long-term success. Your responsibility is to make this model effective for students in grades K–2. You will facilitate hands-on life skills sessions (including public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange) and accelerate daily academic progress through Coachbot analytics, explicit benchmarks, and reliable motivation frameworks.

This position demands high accountability. Success metrics are explicit: 2x academic advancement per semester, 90%+ student satisfaction rates, and demonstrated life-skill competency validated through Test2Pass. If you are prepared to coach with intensity, accuracy, and commitment, we would like to speak with you.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitate one-hour, experiential life skills sessions using narrative techniques, dynamic pacing, and hands-on application to prepare students for Test2Pass certification
  • Leverage Coachbot analytics to identify obstacles early, establish daily and weekly benchmarks, and maintain every student's momentum within adaptive learning platforms
  • Conduct group check-ins that reinforce objectives, acknowledge achievements, and identify issues before they compromise performance targets
  • Implement motivation frameworks (school currency, leaderboards, reward structures) to produce measurable improvements in focus, perseverance, and productivity
  • Intervene without delay when students encounter difficulty or lose focus, coaching problem-solving strategies and self-correction techniques in real time

What you will NOT be doing

  • Providing traditional academic lectures or one-on-one tutoring as the main instructional method
  • Monitoring children on devices passively while assuming progress will occur automatically
  • Adjusting weekly objectives downward to achieve favorable metrics
  • Facilitating sessions where students attend without being able to demonstrate mastery upon completion

Key responsibilities

This role is designed to ensure a K–2 cohort consistently achieves 2x academic progress per semester while sustaining 90%+ student satisfaction and confirmed life-skill mastery.

Candidate requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in any field
  • Full fluency in English
  • At least intermediate Spanish proficiency to manage behavior, provide instructions, and communicate with families
  • 3+ years of experience working with children ages 4–8 in high-energy, high-engagement environments (classroom, camp, coaching, or afterschool programs)
  • Experience actively managing and engaging groups of 10–15+ young children (not supervision-only)
  • Exposure to structured goal-setting or progress targets with children
  • Track record of receiving performance feedback and applying it
  • Willing to work in person in Dorado, Puerto Rico
  • Legal authorization to work in Puerto Rico without sponsorship

Nice to have

  • Experience facilitating structured workshops that incorporate an assessment or performance verification component
  • Experience applying data or learning analytics to accelerate student progress (e.g., app dashboards, progress reports)
  • Direct experience implementing incentive systems such as points, currency, badges, or leaderboards in a youth environment
