Pros

The pros of working here are that you get to sound snooty when you tell people where you work. This is not a joke it's absolutely the only pro. Oh and if it was actually implemented, the character development program would be a pro.

Cons

Poor, poor, poorly written curriculum. I highly doubt whoever wrote this curriculum has ANY background in early childhood education. The curriculum is filled with hand print art and teacher made art. There is absolutely nothing developmentally appropriate about it. They also use the same equipment from 2's all the way to school age. How ridiculous that a two year old and 9 year old would be using the exact same kitchen set. Look around the rooms they are empty of supplies (no art center, a bucket of blocks, tiny sensory tables, nothing ever on the science table, a tiny kitchen set) and this is what corporate requires. This is what they see as being the "leader in early childhood education". Apparently they see ECE to be a joke because that's what these schools are. Anyone with ACTUAL ECE experience and education won't be happy here. How could you possibly be happy here with corporate sending you a cookie cutter, 1980's hand print style lesson plan.

Pros

I absolutely loved our families and their children.

Cons

From my first week of training, I could tell they didn't want me there. The assistant director is very dismissive and rude and the director is condescending. Never really had an issue with other staff members, but it was obvious the director and assistant director were trying to push me out. The curriculum director was so kind and sweet, but she left too, feeling like the director and assistant director were using her and walking all over her. I absolutely do not recommend.
