Pros

The kids are adorable and a blast to work with. The parents are great and supportive of teachers. The other teachers are great to work with and are very supportive of one another but they do not last long.

Cons

The curriculum coordinator is a joke. She stares into the classrooms and yells at the teachers rather than talking to them. The management staff doesn't like to take responsibility for things that occur and blames the teachers for everything. Parents and teachers became concerned when the management was not willing to call when children were ill and had fevers (unwilling to call unless the child had a temp of 101.5). Even if the children were throwing up or visible unwell, the managers wouldn't alert the parents. The teachers were fleeing because they were not being backed by the management. Few teachers left because of the lack of bathroom breaks and the sickness rules installed by the management (as in, if you're throwing up and have a fever of 103 you still had to be at work). Many times teachers would request a bathroom break emergency and the management would continue to sit up front on their computers and would not go to help the teacher for a half an hour of more. This was also the case if a student was injured and a teacher called for an ice pack.

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.
