What if every playful interaction could drive concrete developmental progress?
Alpha's approach to education departs entirely from conventional models. Our PreK program integrates play-based curriculum with live developmental tracking — eliminating scripted lessons and compliance-focused checklists. You will build adaptive learning experiences across all developmental readiness areas, mentor a team of Guides to execute them with both accuracy and enthusiasm, and monitor quantifiable milestone achievement for each child in your cohort.
This role combines leadership with direct classroom involvement. Approximately one-third of your time will be spent in learning environments — demonstrating facilitation methods, observing instructional sessions, and conducting calibration meetings. The remainder focuses on curriculum development, coaching Guides toward concrete and measurable objectives, and delivering data-informed family communications. The outcomes of your efforts will be visible: four-year-olds reaching developmental benchmarks ahead of schedule, Guides elevating their performance metrics consistently, and parents championing the program.
Mentor the Guides. Shape the learning. Apply today.
What you will be doing
- Conduct individual and small-group coaching sessions with PreK Guides, demonstrating instructional techniques and recognizing quantifiable progress
- Create and lead play-based learning experiences that integrate SEL, literacy, numeracy, and motor development, setting the standard for team execution
- Assess and align Guide documentation on a weekly basis to ensure rubric consistency and clarity, facilitating calibration meetings to maintain transparent milestone tracking
- Develop family communication updates and coordinate team meetings that unify priorities and sustain collective focus on PreK readiness objectives across the campus
What you will NOT be doing
- Executing rigid lesson plans or compliance-based protocols — you will create flexible, play-driven themes informed by current data
- Implementing a prescribed curriculum from external sources — you control the design of quarterly and weekly learning frameworks
- Operating independently without structured feedback — coaching dialogues and calibration reviews are embedded in your weekly rhythm
- Supervising K-12 learners using app-based platforms — this position is entirely devoted to early childhood, direct, classroom-based engagement
Key responsibilities
Lead campus-wide PreK readiness results by coaching guides, ensuring program consistency, and fostering engaging, evidence-based classrooms.
