Pros

Love working with and teaching kids. Like making your own lesson plans and getting your own materials to do the lessons Insurance for full-time

Cons

Horrible pay Horrible director - never had a schedule in the year and a half I worked there. Texted at 10pm the time for the next day. For 4 months in a row, I was told one time the night before and called at 6am to come in early. Got to work and would not be allowed to clock in because there weren't enough kids. Be sent on break then come back and work less then an hour and be sent home. Work less then an hour and be sent on break (because it was convenient then) then have to work 7+ hours without break. No materials for activities, no support for extra help. Always out of ratio and director didn't care if it was not the infant room.

Pros

The kids and families are amazing. It’s so rewarding to go into work and watch a baby learn to walk or a toddler begin to learn their colors and know that I had a part in that. Watching the kids grow and learn was the absolute best part of the job.

Cons

There were a lot of safety concerns. Staff were not all held to the same standard and children were getting hurt because some staff were allowed to slack while others weren’t. I was both parent and staff. My concerns about safety were brushed off by my admin and the district as well. There was favoritism and a lack of training. The pay is also very low. The CEO has never been on the classroom side of childcare and that tells you everything you need to know.
