Descripción del empleo

"Alpha School students, on average, experience 2.4 to 2.6 times the academic growth of traditional school students"

— Forbes

Alpha is hiring.

• Onsite in Austin, TX. Relocation support included
• $150,000 salary, paid weekly
• Day-one health, dental, and vision benefits

What if every moment of play could unlock measurable developmental breakthroughs?

At Alpha, education looks nothing like the traditional model. Our PreK program blends play-based curriculum design with real-time developmental data — no rigid lesson scripts, no compliance checklists. You will design adaptive learning themes across every readiness domain, coach a team of Guides to deliver them with precision and joy, and track measurable milestone progress for every child in the cohort.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will spend roughly a third of your time in classrooms — modeling facilitation, observing sessions, and running calibration reviews. The rest is designing curriculum, coaching Guides with specific, measurable goals, and keeping families informed with evidence-based updates. You will see the direct impact of your work: four-year-olds hitting developmental milestones faster, Guides improving their quality scores week over week, and parents becoming advocates.

Coach the Guides. Design the play.

What You Will Be Doing

• Lead 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions for PreK Guides, modeling techniques, and celebrating measurable wins
• Design and facilitate play-based learning blocks that balance SEL, literacy, numeracy, and motor skills, modeling best-in-class practice for the team
• Review and calibrate Guide documentation weekly for rubric alignment and actionability, leading calibration sessions to keep milestone progress visible
• Prepare family updates and run team huddles that align priorities and reinforce shared expectations toward campus-wide PreK readiness goals

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Following rigid lesson scripts or compliance-driven routines — you\'ll design adaptive, play-based themes that respond to real data
• Teaching to a fixed curriculum handed down from above — you own the quarterly and weekly learning design
• Working in isolation without feedback loops — coaching conversations and calibration sessions are built into every week
• Managing K-12 students on app-based learning — this role is fully dedicated to early childhood, hands-on, in-the-room work

Early Childhood Curriculum Coordinator Key Responsibilities

Drive campus-wide PreK readiness outcomes through guide coaching, program fidelity, and joyful, data-driven classrooms.

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor\'s degree in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, Psychology, or related field; Master\'s or specialized training preferred
• At least 5 years of professional experience working directly with children ages 3 to 5, including as a lead or primary teacher in a classroom or structured program
• Proven ability to design and implement play-based educational programs or curricula that advance developmental milestones e.g. Montessori
• At least 1 year of experience coaching or managing a team of early childhood educators with performance accountability
• Experience preparing written family progress updates and leading team alignment meetings in an educational setting
• Legally authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
• Willingness to work in-person at Alpha Austin campus with relocation support provided if needed

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Familiarity with edtech platforms, adaptive dashboards, or digital observation tools used in early childhood settings
• Experience with behavior guidance strategies and co-regulation techniques for children ages 3-5
