What if intentional play could drive quantifiable gains in early development?
Alpha's PreK model rejects conventional education structures. Our approach integrates play-based curriculum with live developmental tracking — eliminating prescriptive lesson plans and compliance-focused documentation. You will build adaptive learning experiences spanning all readiness domains, guide a team of classroom Guides to execute them with intention and enthusiasm, and monitor each child's milestone achievement throughout the cohort.
This role requires active classroom presence. Approximately one-third of your time will be spent in learning spaces — demonstrating facilitation methods, observing instructional delivery, and leading calibration discussions. The remainder involves curriculum creation, coaching Guides toward concrete and trackable objectives, and providing families with data-informed communication. The results will be visible: four-year-olds reaching developmental markers ahead of schedule, Guides raising quality performance metrics weekly, and families becoming champions of the program.

What you will be doing
- Facilitate one-on-one and small-group coaching for PreK Guides, demonstrating instructional techniques and recognizing data-supported progress
- Create and lead play-based learning sequences balancing social-emotional learning, literacy, numeracy, and motor development — serving as the exemplar for instructional excellence
- Conduct weekly reviews of Guide documentation to ensure rubric consistency and actionable insights, running calibration meetings to maintain visibility into milestone tracking
- Develop family communications and coordinate team alignment meetings that clarify priorities and uphold collective commitments to campus-wide PreK outcomes
What you will NOT be doing
- Adhering to scripted lessons or compliance-focused procedures — you will create flexible, play-driven themes informed by live developmental data
- Delivering a pre-packaged curriculum determined by external authorities — you control quarterly and weekly learning architecture
- Operating without structured feedback mechanisms — coaching dialogues and calibration reviews are embedded in your weekly rhythm
- Overseeing K-12 learners using software-based instruction — your focus is entirely on early childhood, in-person, classroom-embedded work
