Pros

The kids are fun, the co-teachers I have are great and I learned what I should look for in a day care if I have kids because I now know what goes on behind closed doors.

Cons

The management is too concerned with their personal issues and gossip to care about the kids or the employees. The staff is under paid and unfairly treated. They have too many kids in the room with not enough teachers. Not much recognition for doing a good job.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay was decent. 9.25 starting for someone with previous experience. The manager was really nice and cared. When you need items for your classroom they usually buy them. They kept the classroom in excellent condition. And kept an eye on employees to make sure there were no slackers.

Cons

The owner was impossible to work with. Very stressful on the days she was there. She has never been a teacher and doesn't understand what we go through. There are no planning times for teachers unless you are a pre k teacher. You stay in one room all day.
