Pros

Great Health Benefits. 401k plan. sick time. vacation time.

Cons

Got pointed for using sick time you earned. Full time hours were cut-almost losing benefits. It was not easy to take time off. Vacation hours were cut in half. Upper local management was not respectful to teachers-which was the face of the company. Never money for supplies to carry our curriculum.

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.
