Pros

I enjoy taking care of the children and buildings relationships with the families.

Cons

The entire company, under staffing, call outside, poverty wages, have had my pay stiffed several times. They don't even budget enough for us to have a kitchen staff or food budget for proper meals for the children. Management expects us to lie to parents which I refuse to do, about everything from illnesses going around to incidents. We are worked to the bone for pennies. I better not hear a word about competitive wages, I cannot even afford a simple studio apartment. I am an adult working overtime most weeks yet I must walk to work and rent a room just to get by as I cannot afford even my own transportation if I want to eat. Treat your people who actually put in the time and hard work better. Do better. Be better. Pay us more. It's not enough.

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.
