Pros

I loved teaching the children and interacting with parents. Pre-school program is good as far as academics.

Cons

No place for advancement if you work hard, on the other hand if management really likes you then you will move up quickly. Hard work and dedication are over looked. They do not treat all students and parents the same. If you are a parent that conforms to what the school thinks your child needs then you will be fine, if not they will show you the door. Management sucks, there is no communication and there is lack of guidance. Curriculum is dated back to the 80's, some information taught to students is incorrect because they won't update the curriculum. Sometimes a class may run out of curriculum and they won't inform parents. There is no PE, Cafeteria, or Library... at times seems more like a cult then a school.

Pros

Great curriculum, involved parents, excellent education for students, free/discounted tuition for employee's children, students are challenged and rise to the occasion. It's exciting to see how much students learn and grow!

Cons

Lots of unpaid working hours (typical for all teachers), salary low, lots expected of teachers (Science Fair, complicated musical programs twice a year, etc.), poor communication/support from management

Pros

Great people to work with. Challenging and fast paced work. Tuition discount for employee children. Great training. Director is approachable, and helpful.

Cons

Management can at times seem biased. If you're a favorite you may get a pass on not following some rules. Expect to work more hours than you are paid.
