      Pros

      The relationships built with children and families were amazing, and the supervisors I had over the years were wonderful. Due to the amount of support I received, I am the early childhood educator I am today. The philosophies of Reggio Emilia and Emergent Curriculum aligned with my personal philosophy. We also had a lot of freedom to come up with activities that followed the children's lead. The benefits were good, and time off was usually flexible.

      Cons

      The amount of paperwork needed by the state and the amount of time allowed varies by center depending on management and staffing - it can be almost impossible to keep up with. When working at other centers on days mine was closed, I wouldn't always have the best experiences with other staff or would notice that philosophy varies by center. There is little to no room to move up - despite having experience and education. It seemed they would rather hire from outside the company.

      Pros

      - for school age before and after school program there is a lot of prep time

      Cons

      - if a lot of teachers staffed no full-time hours - can be sent to other centers if fully staffed
