Curriculum Coordinator

The Curriculum Coordinator works in close partnership with the Early Childhood Center (ECC) Director to lead a high-quality, developmentally appropriate program for children from infancy through preschool (birth to age 5). While the ECC Director focuses on day-to-day operations — staffing, licensing, facilities, and compliance — the Curriculum Coordinator owns the educational heart of the program: social-emotional and academic curriculum design, classroom-level coaching, and the integration of Jewish life, culture, and values into daily learning. This role blends Rhode Island Early Learning and Developmental Standards with Jewish values and the Center's mission and serves as the primary curriculum resource and coach for teaching staff across all age-level classrooms.
