Pros

Rewarding job and making a difference in children's lives, directors are nice and will work with you on scheduling. Teachers can be creative and implement their own ideas into the curriculum.

Cons

Gossip. Low pay, job is physically demanding. Constant turn around with teachers (because of low pay). It is extremely hard to stick to a curriculum (even if you plan one) because they are always short staffed and you can be yanked from your room to cover other teachers on their break or ratios in the classrooms become to high. I absolutely love teaching, but I feel I cannot do my job properly or to the best of my ability when I am yanked from my room in the middle of a project or teaching a lesson, to cover the other classes.

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.
