Pros

wonderful children, room for small growth

Cons

they schedule you for a ten hour day and say they will give you an hour and a half break... which is long... but its whatever... however this never happens and suddenly at the end of the week you have a three hour break... very frusterating... however the biggest downfall is management... they are all trained and have all been a teacher in the past.. however they are the most disrespectful people i have ever met... they always complain and never give positive feedback... they will come and complain bout things that are not your fault... they are constantly moving children around so you never really know what are going into at the begining of the day... they always make you stay late and you will never hear a thank you... i would never recommend this job... and they always wnder why people quit all the time

Pros

The kids and families are amazing. It’s so rewarding to go into work and watch a baby learn to walk or a toddler begin to learn their colors and know that I had a part in that. Watching the kids grow and learn was the absolute best part of the job.

Cons

There were a lot of safety concerns. Staff were not all held to the same standard and children were getting hurt because some staff were allowed to slack while others weren’t. I was both parent and staff. My concerns about safety were brushed off by my admin and the district as well. There was favoritism and a lack of training. The pay is also very low. The CEO has never been on the classroom side of childcare and that tells you everything you need to know.
