Pros

Nice children and nice parents. Fun extra curricular activities for kids.

Cons

Staff wasn't friendly, admin made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Wasn't trained on any of their policies, their curriculum, and their childcare app. Was consistently out of ratio and stuck me in a classroom on my first day with no training and no understanding of their lesson plans.
