Pros

The children are the best part about this place. Most of the lead teachers are wonderful individuals exploited by poor leaders.

Cons

The management team at this facility have extremely poor leadership skills. The majority of the staff make minimum wage, overworked and the phony owner pays regular rate even when working OT. Failure to provide training/orientation for new staff. Once hired, you are expected to just know what to do. If you do make a mistake, the owner is quick to throw you under the bus. Owner fails to hold herself accountable for her poor leadership skills causing direct harm to her business. Management fails to address child's behavior and special needs concerns with parents as a means for saving face while neglecting the needs of the children and a stressed out staff. There is absolutely no room for growth or advancement at this facility. Try another program if you wish to learn.

Pros

there was nothing good about working here

Cons

they did not listen to their staff they only cared about what the parents saw. they over work and undertrain. i had no training going into this job and i became a lead teacher without a raise and without being told. suddenly i was in a room with a bunch of toddlers all alone. they also don’t give any grace to the teachers everything needs to be perfect. the owners and admin give attitude when you ask for help and even when you call out sick they try to get you to come in. this job was so mentally draining i still have anxiety just thinking about it
