Good Curriculum, Not Great Management

Pros

Primrose schools in general seem to be alright. The curriculum is made for you, you just have to prep it and implement it.

Cons

The specific one I worked at, Primrose School of Littleton, doesn't treat their employees fairly. If you want to listen to their every "request" blindly without asking questions, this is the job for you.

Pros

The kids almost make it worth it

Cons

Management is never on the same page. They lie to parents to put on a facade about what the school is like. At the end of the day, it’s no different than any other childcare center. Parents just overpay for this one.
