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 predictable lesson plans and orderly classrooms, this role is not for you. This position demands someone who can take charge of a group of 10–15 young children, sustain high energy throughout the day, and enforce rigorous standards without compromise. You will guide behavior, sharpen focus, and reinforce accountability in the moment, and you will require mastery, not mere attendance.

Alpha is an AI-powered private school operating on a core principle: children can achieve mastery of foundational academics more rapidly through adaptive learning technology, freeing time to develop the life skills that truly shape their trajectory. Your responsibility is to execute this model with a K–3 cohort. As a Guide, you oversee a single cohort band — either K-1 (Kindergarten–1st) or 2-3 (2nd–3rd) — and adjust your approach, tempo, and workshops to suit that band. You will facilitate hands-on life skills workshops (including public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange) and advance daily learning app progress through Coachbot analytics, defined targets, and reliable motivation frameworks.

This is performance-driven work. The metrics are transparent: 2x academic progress per semester, 90%+ student satisfaction, and demonstrated life-skill competency via Test2Pass. If you are prepared to coach with intensity, accuracy, and commitment, we are ready to connect.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitate one-hour, hands-on life skills workshops that incorporate storytelling, dynamic pacing, and active drills to prepare students for Test2Pass
  • Leverage Coachbot analytics to identify obstacles early, establish daily and weekly benchmarks, and maintain momentum for every student in adaptive learning apps
  • Conduct group check-ins that reinforce objectives, recognize achievements, and identify issues before they jeopardize targets
  • Deploy motivation systems (school currency, leaderboards, rewards) to produce measurable shifts in focus, persistence, and performance
  • Step in immediately when students encounter difficulty or lose focus, coaching problem-solving and self-correction on the spot

What you will NOT be doing

  • Serving as the main source of academic instruction through lectures or one-on-one tutoring
  • Sitting back and monitoring children on screens while expecting progress to occur on its own
  • Adjusting weekly goals downward to improve reporting metrics
  • Facilitating workshops where students show up but cannot prove mastery when assessed

Key responsibilities

This role ensures that a K–3 cohort reliably achieves 2x academic progress each 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, give directions, and communicate with families
  • 3+ years of experience working with children ages 4–9 in high-energy, high-engagement settings (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 running structured workshops that include an assessment or performance check
  • Experience using data or learning analytics to drive student progress (e.g., app dashboards, progress reports)
  • Direct experience with incentive systems such as points, currency, badges, or leaderboards in a youth setting
