Pros

The owners care about the well being of the staff and children. I have worked at Kiddie Academy since 2012 and feel valued as an employee. The pay is great and the benefits are good too. We receive 25% off of child care as an employee and now that I have worked here for 3 years it is 50% Also working at a SUTQ rated center...I love working at Kiddie Academy of Reynoldsburg.

Cons

It is not easy work...we provide children with portfolios and hands on experiences and this requires preparation and dedication...and moreover passion for educating children

Pros

The kids giving you hugs when you first walk in because they're happy to see you. And the food was pretty good

Cons

Disorganized leadership that never communicates with each other. Employees are not respected at all- one reason why the employee turnover rate is so high. They also randomly fire people and will make your final paycheck minimum wage if you give less than 4 weeks notice for leaving. They refuse to tell parents that we're full and cannot accept more children, so we end up getting more new children every week and having way more kids than we can handle. Because of this, the classrooms are usually out of ratio, so we end up scrambling to find someone to sit in the room so that we would not be out of ratio. The high turnover rate leads to even more chaos and disorganization. It's impossible to do the activities we're supposed to do with the kids when we're so understaffed, but the place will constantly be understaffed because pretty much everyone hates working here. I would never recommend anyone to work here, or even to send their kids here.

Pros

Great hours, flexible schedule, great for college students looking for part time work. Kids are cute and make the day go by fast.

Cons

Pay could be better, no benefits for part time employees and more parking spaces in the lot reserved/ available for employees to park in.
