May be an inherently dumb question but what do you teach? We just have regular “instructors” and no one that specializes in freestyle to my knowledge...

Right on. I kinda grew up in the freestyle/freeride team scene and competed a bunch, coached a little bit for a season, its a fun environment to be in, honestly.

Best advice is to just keep things fun, relaxed, and encouraging.....and I know you're a park coach which is fine but definitely take the opportunity to ski out of the park and work on skiing better overall with the kids. Some of them love it, and some of them hate it. But its a good way to get out of the park on a busy weekend when its hard to coach kids and just go have some fun upper-mountain.

Absolutely agree this, not only that, please make sure you athletes can ski before they start learning tricks, understanding how to carve properly, balance weight distribution, and pop correctly can all be taught without any features. Also, mogul skiing will make you a better skier than anything else in my opinion, get your kids stoked about moguls, it's a dying part of freestyle (as is halfpipe) and it's seriously the most impressive when you understand how difficult it is.
