Pros

The people on the team that really love what they do make me want to come to work every day and give the job my all. The combination of children and adults make it feel more like a family, and I love how big some of the classrooms are.

Cons

Extremely high turnover rate, people get hired thinking the job is easy and relaxed but quit when they realize how real it is to be working with so many children while we're severely understaffed. The teachers that are here have to work long hours and very few of us have co teachers in our classrooms.
