Early Childhood Education Specialist Job at Crossover, Hialeah, FL

VXNrbjFMbzRDajBnVEthV3FmdXRZSWNlc3c9PQ==
  • Crossover
  • Hialeah, FL

Job Description

  • Based onsite in New York City, NY
  • $120,000 annual compensation, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins on day one.
  • Relocating? We provide relocation assistance.
  • Do you believe authentic learning begins with joy, movement, and trust?

    Alpha School is redefining education—children achieve academic fluency quickly, then invest more time developing essential life competencies. In Pre-K, this foundation begins even earlier: with emotional security, curiosity, and the resilience to engage.

    Your role: guide an in-person NYC Pre-K group that genuinely enjoys school while demonstrating accelerated developmental outcomes—approximately 2x the gains typical preschools deliver. You'll craft intentional, sensory-rich play experiences that target specific developmental milestones, then track progress each week and pivot rapidly for every child.

    NYC: Access to parks for outdoor exploration, vibrant neighborhoods with engaged family networks, exceptional public transportation, and proximity to leading early childhood innovation hubs.

    Create joy. Drive growth. Apply today.

    What You Will Be Doing

    • Plan and lead 30–60 minute play-driven learning sessions that foster joy, emotional security, and quantifiable developmental progress
    • Build a classroom environment rich in movement and sensory opportunities that sustains high engagement and supports four-year-olds learning across multiple modalities
    • Observe and record in the moment: Document same-day, evidence-based notes aligned to developmental domains, then refresh each child's milestone tracking weekly
    • Let data shape your teaching: Review weekly observations to pinpoint each child's emerging growth area and design targeted instructional responses
    • Create personalized, interest-driven activity modifications for individual children, anchor each in one precise developmental objective, and reassess results within two weeks
    • Support children navigating frustration through composed co-regulation and emotional guidance instead of reactive management
    • Share student progress, daily routines, and developing concerns transparently and proactively with families

    What You Won’t Be Doing

    • Approach PreK as custodial care instead of purposeful early education
    • Default to scripted worksheets or compliance-focused methods as your core teaching strategy
    • Spend most of your day supervising academic apps rather than facilitating active, hands-on learning experiences
    • Apply reactive behavior management instead of practicing calm co-regulation and emotional coaching

    Early Childhood Educator Key Responsibilities

    Ensure NYC Pre-K children develop a love of school while showing accelerated early-learning gains through purposeful play.

    Basic Requirements

    • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education or Child Development, OR CDA/Montessori/Reggio credential
    • At least 2 years of hands-on experience with 3–5-year-olds in a structured group environment (classroom setting, not exclusively one-on-one care)
    • Documented success leading play-based instruction that produces visible developmental gains
    • Confirmed ability to capture developmental milestones objectively and reliably on a weekly schedule using a structured framework or rubric
    • Strong relational capacity and emotional insight: Ability to establish trust rapidly, interpret emotional signals precisely, and leverage personalized motivators to drive engagement
    • Co-regulation and frustration support: Help children navigate emotional surges through calm presence and systematic emotional coaching
    • Authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
    • Available to work full-time on-site in New York City, NY
