Pros

The kids are some amazing kiddos who have lots of love to give.

Cons

Management is atrocious. All they care about is money, numbers and couldn't give less of a crap about the employees or students. If you have a legit concern and go to them, they will laugh in your face (and behind your back) and tell you to get over it. There is NO support, even if it is begged for by the employees. You are overworked and under appreciated here. The people running the place act worse than the children at times by talking about employees behind their backs with other employees, talking smack about all the parents and genuinely not caring about the children. Like I said to them, it's all money and numbers. This place will tear you down emotionally and it's not because of the kids but the adults who run it.

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.
