Curriculum Coach - Primrose School of Brookfield - Brookfield, WI
Compensation: $54,000-$64,000 base salary, plus an annual performance-based bonus (5-10% of base). Total target compensation: $57,000-$70,000.
A Real Path to Leadership as part of our planned growth - including a new Primrose location opening in 2028 - this role offers a genuine pathway to an Executive Director position within two years. You'll work directly alongside our current leadership team, building the strategic, financial, and people-leadership skills needed to run a school of your own as we expand.
Are you an experienced early childhood educator who loves to inspire and empower teachers? At Primrose School of Brookfield, we're seeking a Curriculum Coach who is passionate about teacher development, instructional excellence, and shaping future generations through high-quality early education.
Every day, you'll have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on both teachers and children - helping educators grow professionally while ensuring exceptional learning experiences in every classroom. If that drives you, we want to talk with you.
About Our School Primrose School of Brookfield is one of two Primrose schools currently operating in Wisconsin, with a third location planned to open in 2028 as part of our regional growth. We are locally and family owned - not corporately operated - which means decisions about your growth, your classroom, and our community are made by people who know you and work alongside you every day. You'll report directly to the Executive Director and work closely with our full leadership team on curriculum, staffing, and school culture.
Schedule: Unlike many schools facing ongoing teacher shortages, our leadership team is not routinely pulled into classroom coverage - each leader has dedicated job duties and the team works collaboratively so you can focus on coaching and developing teachers rather than covering classrooms. This is a full-time, salaried position. Core hours are Monday-Friday within school operating hours; some flexibility is required to support opening/closing coverage, staff meetings, and occasional family events.
