If you live children and money isn't an issue this is a great place to start a career in teaching.

The management only care about money and not the amount of work you put in. A lot of unpaid work goes into this job

The Goddard school is great in the aspect of allowing it’s teacher to teach what they feel is best and developmentally appropriate for the classroom their in. The school is kept in high regard for its cleanliness and updated technology

High turnover. Also salary could be increased for the amount of work done and the physical and mental capacity you must meet.

- 1.0Aug 20, 2021Lead Toddler TeacherFormer Employee, less than 1 year
Pros
Working with children Smiling with children Learning with children Having a lunch break of an hour Reading to children and them learning
Cons
The gossip between teachers and with the administrators is unbelievable. Often times you are up and off the floor with the kids. You are sitting on the floor in the toddler rooms, and you are bending constantly. I had severe back pain. The pay at 13$ hourly is horrible for the amount of work and teaching children!

Pros
Working with the children is great, and I am lucky to work at a center with some pretty great co-workers.
Cons
The amount of work you do as a Lead compared to the pay you get is not worth it. Especially if you have more than a CDA. As a higher-education graduate, I do not feel valued if I am being paid the same as someone with a CDA. There is also very little to no room for career growth. I do not take advantage of benefits, so I cannot comment on them.

Pros
The kids, of course. Hour break No nights or weekends
Cons
Pay. Minimum wage is not worth it for the amount of work that this job entails.
