Pros

The director at the Mason location was extremely understanding and there was a lot of potential for the daycare. Everyone mostly supported each other and I feel like the team that I had at the time was what made the job more tolerable, outside of the kids, of course.

Cons

The center was not ready to be open when I worked there. We didn’t have a playground because of the lack of fences and even then, the indoor gym was fairly lackluster that the kids would get bored extremely quickly. Due to lack of enrollments, full-time staff were pretty much forced to work part-time hours and suffered pay cuts, which was why I eventually left after not being able to take it for much longer.
