About The Children's Storefront The science is clear: back-and-forth interactions between caregivers and children in the first three years of life build the strongest foundation for brain growth and lifelong success, and responsive play is an important tool to build babies’ brains -- yet this research often doesn’t reach the parents who could use it to support their children’s healthy development. The Children's Storefront has partnered with families in Harlem for over fifty years, and is now laser-focused on bringing the power of responsive interactions and child-led play to our community. Our newly-launched playspace model allows parents and children to learn together, with caregivers practicing the skills that spur brain development while receiving immediate feedback and support from early childhood specialists. Our program has a lasting impact on children, families, and communities, and we hope you'll join us to move this important work forward! About the Position Program Coaches deliver The Children’s Storefront’s early childhood program to families across Harlem, New York City, and beyond. Coaches lead in-person group sessions that support caregivers in developing “serve and return” skills (training in our model will be provided). Coaches provide positive feedback to caregivers, and provide insights into the science behind how children’s brain architecture can be built through play and responsive interactions. Coaches also serve as ambassadors for The Children’s Storefront, engaging in outreach activities to promote the program and connect with new families. Coaches employ a hybrid model – spending part of their time working remotely and part of their time in-person at our playspace in Harlem – and work 35 hours per week. This will include weekends and potentially early evening hours in order to accommodate family schedules; exact schedules will be determined in consultation with the Program Manager. Coaches must be based in New York City. We are specifically seeking candidates that speak both English and Spanish to help us expand our Spanish-language programming.

Additional education or experience in early childhood education or early intervention is preferred.  As The Children’s Storefront is in the start-up phase, coaches should be creative problem-solvers, adaptive and flexible, and highly organized. We seek candidates who are self-motivated and are strategic in their time management. Above all, Coaches should be deeply invested in the community and should approach their work with curiosity, a growth mindset, and a passion for supporting families. Candidates who are bilingual (English/Spanish) are preferred. The Children’s Storefront serves a diverse and evolving neighborhood. Candidates should view this as a source of strength, and should enjoy building authentic, trusting relationships with those who may hold identities or have lived experiences that differ from their own. Further, as an organization centering justice and racial equity, candidates must be committed to the ongoing individual work that anti-racist practice requires of us.  Our Benefits 100% employer-paid premiums for health, dental, and vision insurance for individual employees (with generous options for spouse/family coverage) Flexible spending account Ample paid time off, including 15 holidays, 10 sick days, and 15 vacation days Professional development funds for each team member, along with regular team training opportunities Hybrid work schedule - team members work remotely part of the time, and spend the rest of their time in our office in Harlem, NY Application Instructions You can apply via email.
