Pros

KA was mostly flexible on getting you out early or if you can't come in due to you or your child being sick.

Cons

Accommodating to a fault towards parents. Parents would ask ridiculous things like "oh I don't want Gregory going outside, he has a runny nose." So we just don't let the class go outside? We make Gregory move to a different room? That's an unreasonable request. KA needs to be realistic and not always break the teacher's backs bending over to accommodate every little thing. No I'm not going to take your 1 year old to the bathroom every 15 minutes. That's insane. That's not what should be expected of us in this setting. I never felt backed by management in these types of matters either.

Pros

Parents were nice, children were sweet and smart.

Cons

The owners of kiddie academy of west Cary had a divide and concur mentality among their staff. Overrall most of the women working there were the most cattiness and cut throat people I’ve ever come across over a low paid, menial job. All we were doing was changing diapers, singing abcs and serving cookies and apples juice and the teachers would throw their coworkers under the bus for no good reason. The owners and directors expected staff to give their children special treatment. Very toxic environment.
