Pros

Supportive of teachers and families

Cons

Pay is becoming less competitive

Pros

kids are awesome that you work with.

Cons

low pay and no hours

Pros

The kids and parents. That is literally the only pro.

Cons

High turnover rate because they literally could care less about their employees. Low pay regardless your education/experience. Rude management/corporate. Do not care about kids well being.... It's only about $$ for them. No benefits. I can't say enough bad things. Job seekers beware!

Pros

Kids are the only pros

Cons

Pay is horrible and everybody clicks up and talks about everyone.

Pros

Great kids Fun co-teachers Good Curriculum

Cons

Low Pay Unsupportive owners Unrealistic expectation Frequent short staffing leading to no bre4qaks

Pros

Good salary for management and directors

Cons

Teachers get very low pay Curriculum was not suitable for all children

Pros

Working with the kids is great, usually. They will always have hours for you as they are typically understaffed. You will learn time management and a bit about how a normal school routine works. If you’re looking for a lead role, you’ll learn to manage time, manage behaviors, and plan engaging lessons.

Cons

This place is 98% money driven. It is a business not a school. It is almost impossible to put vacation time in as they will always need you around. Depending on the center, they will not pay any vacation or sick time you've accrued if you quit before using it. They will low ball your salary and make you feel like they’re giving you a great deal, so tell them you’re currently getting paid more than what you need. The health benefits are expensive and there will still be a copay. There is no space for teachers to express how they are doing, and rarely is there any guidance. They expect you to lesson plan the following week of lessons while the kids are around. They will put you at the max legal capacity. Although training is required, they would much prefer you complete it on your own time and throw you in a room to figure it out. You are essentially a body in the room to meet the legal ratio. Zero professional development. Unempathic about personal life. Did not pay me for overtime or trainings I completed from home unless I “reminded” them. No reimbursement for things you need in your room for activities, and lots of broken toys that probably won’t be replaced. Also one front desk person in particular talks down to younger staff OFTEN and publicly, with no shame. Overall hostile environment and no one who works there wants to be there. Several teachers (around 6) have quit or made an attempt to quit. If it were legal to hire the children themselves, they would do so to make more money.

Pros

They feed you a lot They’re a great place, if you have kids of your own

Cons

Leave you to work alone a lot if under staffed Pay could be better for what’s required of you

Pros

It was a positive, fun environment

Cons

The pay is not great
