Pros

Dedicated staff that take good care of your child and genuinely care. Ratios are decent and school is very safe.

Cons

For a company that makes BIG money..they do not pay their staff enough..yes, still more than many schools BUT for the amount of work and what is expected of their teachers, they could and should pay more...SUPER HIGH TURNOVER OF STAFF. They cut corners by hiring young girls fresh out of HS so they can pay less. Children are often in the care of staff that have no Early Childhood Education units or experience. Also children are moves too quickly up to next age-room; hard on kids and teachers to have kids transitioning every 3 to 6 months in/out of classroom. Furthermore, the outside play yards are sooooo boring; NO sandbox or bikes, yikes!! And the one big play-structure for preschool & toddler age kids is often too hot to go on; simple solution...cover with a canopy/cover. School does not do enough 'sensory' play and messy (with is developmentally appropriate) projects. Expectations of the children are WAY too high setting them up for constant failure and/or being yelled at by teachers.

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.
