Pros

Working with children and seeing them grow. Learning how to assess a child’s development. Only reason I gave it more stars than needed.

Cons

Creating “enhancements” to the curriculum weekly requires taking work home. You receive a teaching hour during nap time but most of the time the kiddos don’t sleep and require your attention. Also no real career opportunities. Management says there will be for growth but they only say that to try to keep you from leaving and their promises are empty. I’ve seen them make this promise to numerous other teachers.
