Pros

The pay is good, and it's a nice school.

Cons

There's never the same teachers in the classrooms so there's no constancy. Teachers gossip about each other and the director. It's very unorganized. There's a teacher who is mean and always yells at the kids and other teachers. There are no benefits. They expect you to do lesson plans but don't provide the time to write them up or prep for activities. Everyone there seems stressed out all the time. Teachers keep coming and going. High turn over rate. There were times when I went over four hours with no break. Teachers were crying from stress. It's a very hectic environment.

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.
