Good philosophy and curriculum, poor execution.

Pros

I love, love, love the Primrose philosophy. It's truly a well-rounded approach to early childhood education, with everything from music to foreign language, fitness, art, great Pre-K curriculum .. everything you want for a child. Teachers for the most part are caring, go-the-extra-mile types, and there is a good sense of comradery.

Cons

HOWEVER - training is severely lacking and, this being a low-paying job, it's hard to attract quality teachers. This creates headaches for staff, poor communication between teachers and management, and most of all doesn't do the children any favors. Turnover rate is high. Many substitutes are brought in, and put in a classroom without guidance.

Pros

The children of course were my favorite part. Flexible hours! Typical closing hours for a childcare. Their curriculum was great. The children really enjoyed their songs. Loved my co workers :)

Cons

No benefits for full-time. I don't mind it but we had to clean twice a day no cleaning crew. not everybody was as experienced as you would think so it was difficult to maintain the classroom when the other person doesn't know what to do.
