- High turnover
- Would hire people that had no experience in childcare and expected teachers to teach them.
- TINY rooms for younger children; it was the smallest room I'd ever been in at a childcare facility.
- Wouldn't send kids home when they were sick. Unless they had a mega high fever, good luck getting the management to enforce the sick policy. This also includes the 24 hour sick policy, where the child is not allowed to return for 24 hours after leaving due to sickness.
- Constantly understaffed.
- They were very pushy about people calling out sick. I witnessed one woman that had a doctor's note being coerced into coming in. Staff would come in sick, and the kids would get sick, and then parents would send their kids in sick. It was a giant cycle.
- They don't listen to employees. The teachers are the ones that are in the room with the kids all day; we know what they need. This was especially a problem concerning safety issues that they would not change because all of the franchise locations are supposed to look/be exactly the same.
- Never knowing when you'll get your break.
- Preschool teachers beware, you will have to sign a contract. And if you hate the job and want out of that contract, you'll have to pay them off for the remaining cost of your contract. This means that teachers will stay in order to not shell out money, which leads to resentment towards management and the kids.
- You are given a lesson plan. Every center has the exact same lesson plan. You can't sit down with a classroom and base everything around the kid's needs, wants, and developmental ability with a pre - programmed lesson.
