Pros

Supportive Environment: The team at Catalyst Kids is incredibly supportive. From day one, I felt welcomed and part of a community that genuinely cares about each other and the children we serve. Professional Development: Catalyst Kids offers numerous opportunities for professional growth. As a substitute teacher, I've been able to learn about different programs and gain valuable experience. Being a permanent sub at one center now has allowed me to deepen my understanding and grow further. Flexibility for Students: Being a sub has provided me with the flexibility to balance work and school effectively. Catalyst Kids understands the needs of students and offers a schedule that accommodates academic commitments.

Cons

High Energy Environment: As rewarding as it can be, the job does require a lot of energy, which can be exhausting. It's important to be prepared for a dynamic and active work environment.
