Pros
The curriculum outline offered is great, and having the resource as a teacher to ALWAYS have some sort of educational activity to offer the kids was super helpful. Cleanliness standards are HIGH and most schools have night cleaning teams to do the heavy lifting which is so helpful. Resource rooms if you have them can be very valuable.
Cons
Unfortunately, my center chose money over the children’s education and progress... always. Over-enrolled and under supported, teachers were left to fend for themselves to cram In the often-meticulous curriculum and the kids seemed drained. I loved having the curriculum as a resource, but strongly disliked being forced to jam the kids into a schedule, activity or project that wasn’t helping them grow. Also, resources and education/curriculum support was often absent. Again, varies by center.
