I worked at La Petite Academy part-time
Pros
The director at this site is phenomenal. Kind and respectful without being a push over. There is such a strong team atmosphere here. Employees truly love the children and work well together for children’s sake. Best team I have worked with childcare or otherwise.
Cons
This a large corporation which shows in the high teacher child ratios and full enrollments, sometimes making a stressful environment for teachers and children. However, not any different from other large chain centers I have worked at.

I have been working at La Petite Academy full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Love my director, team, kiddos and parents. I enjoy the curriculum very easy to follow. The company does give us tools to help be a great teacher in our classrooms.
Cons
Not enough pay, no way a teacher can survive on the salary they receive. Frequent teacher turn over. Hard to promote due to lack of teachers.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at La Petite Academy full-time for less than a year
Pros
Decent pay. Nothing else at all.
Cons
Teachers and kids moved from room to room with no consistency. Children not taught any desirable behaviors. Teachers not allowed to have conversations with parents about the children. Push the boundaries of licensing requirements to have more children in attendance with less staff in attendance so that they can bring in a higher profit.

Pros
Strong corporate support teams. Compassionate workforce.

None that are controllable. ECE is just a high stress profession. The company does all it can to ease the burden on schools and teachers!
