La Petite Academy Employee Reviews about "working with children"

Pros

You will fall in love with the kids very quickly. They're super sweet and while they can misbehave, they're not bad kids. Families are all super pleasant and very appreciative of everything you do for their children. There are also some really good people working there who are great to learn from and be around.

Cons

Management can be very immature and toxic, creating an almost high school like environment with drama and gossip. Ratios can be at times just flat out ridiculous. If working with School Age, there are times where you will have 20+ children BY YOURSELF and management really doesn't care. At times, it seems like management just wants to make money and isn't as concerned about the kids as they are profit and bringing in the dollars.
