Pros

-Got to meet and interact with great children and their families -Most of the teachers genuinely care about the kids (although they get fed-up and leave when they realize they are powerless in an environment of flagrant corruption and refuse to contribute to the negligence )

Cons

-Homogenized approach to promote the brand name that masquerades as a classroom set-up which gets in the way of actual learning experiences -Bottom-line and the $$$$ matters more to the higher-ups than the children -Kids are seen as commodities to the company -Understaffed -Unlawful ratios -Violations of NAEYC rules -Abusive Upper-Management especially at a regional level -Knowledge Universe that owns KinderCare doesn't understand the needs and interests of actual children

Pros

I loved my coworkers. Many became lifelong friends. The children and families we worked with were wonderful.

Cons

The company tried to keep labor costs down which meant rooms were at capacity most of the time with the least amount of staff possible.
