Pros

Great co-workers, clean school, lots of rescources and school supplies available to teachers for projects. Kids were amazing, parents were great.

Cons

Management was out of touch with staff. They didn’t understand that we all have lives and instead expected us to be at their every beck and call. Employees came to work sick because there weren’t enough teachers, and they kept accepting new students. Classess were over enrolled and older students were constantly sent down to younger classes to maintain ratios. Pay was crap and I was broke all the time. Owner is very negative, there’s always something wrong and it felt like she was breathing down our necks 24/7. She was fake-nice to us and then the next second would whip around and chastise us for a menial thing (usually cleaning related). Clearly cared more about profit than about the lives of the staff. Claimed they couldn’t afford to pay a living wage but the owners owned three fancy cars and a motorcycle. Meanwhile if we missed the day before or after a holiday we weren’t paid for the holiday. Oh and they didn’t pay overtime legally.

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.
