Early Childhood Curriculum Coordinator   $150,000 USD/year

Description

  • Based onsite in Austin, TX — relocation assistance provided
  • $150,000 annual salary, distributed weekly
  • Full health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one

What if intentional play could drive quantifiable gains in child development?

Alpha's approach to education breaks from conventional schooling. Our PreK model integrates play-driven curriculum frameworks with live developmental tracking — no scripted lesson plans, no box-checking routines. You will architect flexible learning experiences spanning all readiness areas, guide a team of educators to execute them with fidelity and enthusiasm, and monitor tangible milestone advancement across the entire cohort.

This role is built on active leadership. Roughly one-third of your hours will be classroom-embedded — demonstrating facilitation methods, observing in action, and leading alignment sessions. The remaining time focuses on curriculum architecture, targeted coaching with concrete performance metrics, and delivering data-informed family communications. You will witness your influence firsthand: preschoolers reaching developmental benchmarks ahead of schedule, educators refining their practice scores weekly, and families championing the program.

Coach the team. Shape the experience. Apply today.

What you will be doing

  • Deliver individual and group coaching to PreK educators, demonstrating instructional approaches and recognizing data-backed progress
  • Architect and lead play-centered learning experiences balancing social-emotional growth, early literacy, math foundations, and physical development — serving as the instructional model for your team
  • Audit and align educator documentation on a weekly basis to ensure rubric consistency and clear action steps, facilitating alignment meetings that surface milestone tracking
  • Draft family progress communications and coordinate team check-ins that unify focus and sustain collective commitment to campus PreK outcomes

What you will NOT be doing

  • Executing prescriptive lesson plans or checklist-based protocols — you will build responsive, play-integrated themes informed by live performance data
  • Delivering a pre-packaged curriculum from a central office — quarterly and weekly learning architecture is your domain
  • Operating without structured feedback channels — coaching dialogues and calibration routines are woven into your weekly rhythm
  • Overseeing elementary or middle school learners using digital platforms — your focus is exclusively early childhood, physical presence, classroom-based work

Key responsibilities

Advance PreK school readiness metrics across the campus via educator development, program consistency, and engaging, evidence-informed learning environments.

Candidate requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, Psychology, or a related discipline; Master's degree or specialized certification preferred
  • At least 5 years of professional experience in early childhood education, child development, or a closely related area
  • Direct experience facilitating learning with groups of children aged 3 to 5
  • Demonstrated capability in designing and executing play-based programs or curricula that promote developmental milestone achievement (e.g., Montessori approaches)
  • Minimum 1 year of experience coaching or supervising a team of educators with measurable performance outcomes
  • Track record of creating written family progress reports and facilitating team coordination meetings within an educational context
  • Current legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
  • Availability to work onsite at the Alpha Austin campus, with relocation assistance available as needed

Nice to have

  • Knowledge of educational technology systems, adaptive monitoring dashboards, or digital observation resources deployed in early learning environments
  • Background in positive behavior support methods and co-regulation practices for preschool-aged children
