Preschool Program Coordinator, Alpha - $150,000​/year USD

• $150,000 annual salary, distributed weekly
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage from day one

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

Alpha reimagines early education. Our PreK model merges play-driven curriculum with live developmental tracking — free from scripted lessons and compliance boxes. You will architect adaptive thematic learning across all readiness domains, mentor a team of Guides to execute them with both rigor and enthusiasm, and monitor meaningful milestone achievement for each child under your care.

This role demands active, visible leadership. Approximately one-third of your time will be spent directly in learning spaces — demonstrating facilitation methods, observing classroom dynamics, and conducting alignment reviews. The remainder is dedicated to curriculum architecture, coaching Guides toward concrete performance metrics, and delivering data-informed updates to families. Your influence will be tangible: four-year-olds reaching developmental markers ahead of schedule, Guides elevating their quality metrics consistently, and families becoming vocal supporters.

Develop the Guides. Architect the experience.

• Conduct individualized and small-group coaching with PreK Guides, demonstrating instructional methods and recognizing measurable achievements
• Architect and lead play-centered learning experiences that integrate SEL, literacy, numeracy, and motor development, exemplifying excellence for your team
• Audit and refine Guide documentation on a weekly basis to ensure rubric fidelity and clear next steps, facilitating alignment meetings that maintain visibility into milestone tracking
• Compose family communications and coordinate team briefings that unify focus and sustain collective accountability toward PreK readiness benchmarks

• Executing scripted lesson plans or compliance-focused protocols — you'll create responsive, play-driven themes informed by actual performance data
• Delivering a prescribed curriculum from external sources — you are accountable for quarterly and weekly learning architecture
• Operating independently without structured feedback — coaching dialogues and alignment reviews are embedded weekly
• Supervising K-12 learners using digital platforms — this position centers entirely on early childhood, tactile, classroom-based engagement

Advance campus-wide PreK developmental outcomes via Guide mentorship, programmatic consistency, and classrooms grounded in both data and delight.
