    Role Summary

    We’re hiring a high-ownership Curriculum Specialist who loves early childhood learning and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves.

    This is a hands-on curriculum role. You will:

    prep materials (print, cut, laminate, label, box, stage),

    coach teachers with confidence and respect,

    and lead weekly training so classrooms are prepared and consistent.

    This is not a desk-only planning role. You will build what teachers use—and help them use it well.

    Primary Objective (99% focus)

    Ensure every classroom is fully prepared with staged curriculum materials and supported through weekly coaching/training so learning is consistent, joyful, and effective.

    What You’ll Own

    1. Curriculum Materials Production (Hands-On)

    Print, cut, laminate, label, organize, and stage weekly/monthly curriculum materials

    Create classroom-ready “kits” (bins/boxes/folders) by room and week

    Maintain a clean storage/filing system so materials are easy to find and reuse

    Track what’s missing, what’s running low, and what needs reprint/refresh

    1. Teacher Coaching (Confident + Kind)

    Coach teachers on how to implement the materials effectively (modeling, tips, pacing, engagement)

    Provide supportive feedback that elevates quality—without attitude or judgement

    Help teachers simplify and execute (less overwhelm, more consistency)

    1. Weekly Training & Coordination

    Host a short weekly training session to prepare teachers for the upcoming week

    Coordinate what’s needed per classroom and confirm readiness (no last-minute scrambling)

    Create simple checklists and “definition of done” for prep and rollout

    1. Support in Emergencies (Rare)

    Assist the Director in true classroom emergencies or urgent needs (But the role is 99% curriculum-focused.)

    Who We’re Looking For ✅ (Non-Negotiables)

    High ownership: you take pride in finishing what you start

    Hands-on work ethic: you’re comfortable doing real prep work (print/cut/laminate/stage)

    Confident communicator: you can coach adults respectfully and clearly

    Humble leadership: you elevate teachers without talking down to them

    Joyful spirit: you bring positive energy and help others feel capable

    Organized and reliable: you run on checklists, timelines, and follow-through

    Ideal Background

    Degree in Early Childhood Education (or actively working toward one)

    Experience in preschool curriculum, classroom teaching, or instructional support/coaching

    What Success Looks Like 🌟

    Materials are staged ahead of time—teachers feel supported, not stressed

    Classrooms implement curriculum consistently and confidently

    Weekly trainings are practical, short, and effective

    Teachers feel elevated (not criticized)

    The building feels more joyful and prepared
