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

Onsite position in Austin, TX. Relocation assistance provided.

About Alpha

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.

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.

Responsibilities

• 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

What You Won’t Be Doing

• 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

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, Child Development, Psychology, or a related discipline; Master's degree or specialized credentials preferred
• At least 5 years of professional experience in early childhood education, child development, or a related domain
• Direct experience facilitating group activities for children ages 3 to 5
• Demonstrated success designing and executing play-based educational frameworks or curricula that support developmental milestone attainment, such as Montessori approaches
• A minimum of 1 year managing or coaching educators with clear performance expectations
• Background in drafting written progress summaries for families and facilitating team coordination meetings within educational environments
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
• Commitment to onsite presence at Alpha's Austin campus, with relocation assistance available as needed

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Knowledge of edtech tools, adaptive monitoring systems, or digital observation platforms deployed in early childhood contexts
• Expertise in behavior support methodologies and co-regulation practices for preschool-aged children
