Pros

Co workers and some of the families are friendly and supportive. It's a pay check.

Cons

No understanding of quality early child care with group size and caregiver continuity. Horrible ratios and no support if you are out of ratio. Small classrooms No quality toys and resources in the classroom. No places for children to climb and explore. No dress up clothes are allowed because there is no washer provided to clean them daily. Toys are all Plastic and not changed often. Playground is sterile and children don't have enough to keep them busy. It just looks clean. Very unsupported by management. Looks good on paper it's all a show to get money.

Pros

The kids are great and the teachers are cool too.

Cons

Management has issues with micromanaging. You can be 3 min late to work and you could be fired. Ridiculous. They expect you to cater to them and put your life on the back burner. They also hire a lot of college students so I guess they expect everyone to be as flexible as college students who usually don’t have any real obligation outside of work. The hours also very inconsistent and not full time as I was hired for. Unorganized as well.
