Description

ABOUT US:


The Primary School is creating a new school model that brings together all of the adults in a child's life, including parents, educators, and medical and mental health providers, starting from a very early age.

We recognize the entrenched racism that exists within our public systems and the unjust impact this has had on families of color.

Our aim is that children and families most impacted by systemic poverty and racism receive the multidisciplinary support they deserve to be well, learn, and thrive.

Long-term, we hope to create a game-changing model that can be replicated across the country.

As we continue to learn and grow, we plan to share what we've learned and pursue policy and systems change on a local, state, and national level.

We are supported by a growing coalition of philanthropic partners, building on the generous support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.


Our approach has three defining characteristics:


  • We start early. We start working with children as young as 12 months and provide full-time school starting at age three to reach them at a critical stage in development.
-
We partner with parents. We believe that when parents thrive, children thrive, so we support the wellness and growth of parents alongside the growth of their children.
-
We integrate services. Our unique model unites health care and education, building a multi-disciplinary team and holistic system of care around a child's full needs.


In 2016, we opened our flagship school in East Palo Alto, California, with our first class of four year olds.

We have grown to serve over 400 children and their families through our Early Family Foundations program, parent wellness program, full-day preschool, and elementary/middle school, which will grow through eighth grade.

In 2021, we opened our second site in the East Bay.


ABOUT OUR EAST BAY SITE:


We opened our second site with a founding class of four-year-old children and families who started preschool in August 2021, and continue to serve preschool students in our year round, full day school program.

We also added an Early Family Foundations program in 2023.

Drawing on key learnings from our first site, core components of the model include our parent program - partnering closely with parents throughout their child's development and providing wellness programming for caregivers; our Early Family Foundations program - coordinating early developmental screenings and intervention services; and our medical home partnerships - working with existing health care providers in the community, including Kaiser Permanente in the East Bay, to coordinate care for children.


ABOUT THE ROLE:


The Parent Wellness Coach reports to the Manager of the Parent Program and is responsible for working with families to help them envision a bold future for their children and set goals towards this vision.

Coaching is a partnership in which the coach supports and motivates caregivers to make changes towards achieving their goals for themselves and their families.

The coach will holistically work with our parents and families to identify strengths and problem solve around challenges. The role is a vital part of The Primary School that ensures our parents are supported and connected.

Coaches will deliver monthly programming to cohorts of caregivers, facilitate our group-based coaching model, and build 1:1 coaching relationships with their cohort of parents.


This role reports to the Senior Manager of Parent Program and will be a part of the Parent Program team.
