Pros

THE KIDS!!! The Center Director began their career as Teacher at KinderCare. After fourteen years later they would still never complain about having to go into a class and 'literally' get their hands dirty. I loved working for someone who never forgot what it was like, and had high but realistic expectations of their staff.

Cons

On occasions when responsible employee were noticably unwell, management would have them sit in classrooms to ensure they within ratio with the children, this resulted in the other teacher having to do double the work without extra pay, and the sick employee being paid to [sometimes] sleep on the job. The staff are not permitted to leave the classroom without having management or who ever was available stepping in for them. So if a teacher needed to use the bathroom they would have to call and request someone to step in the class, if there is only one person in the building not assigned to a class you will have a very long wait, my collegue waited over 2 hours, nobody came. She had to use the toilet that her students used, which is prohibited. She would have been fired if she was caught..

Pros

The obvious pro here is working with children. However stressful, frustrating, or overwhelming the job is, the little ones always leave you with something to redeem the day. Other than that, I have a handful of people in my building that are dedicated educators and team players, and I can bring my child to the same building where I work.

Cons

The majority of the staff is like a high school drama TV show. There is no support provided from corporate to train us on challenging behaviors or when extreme circumstances arise. The pay and benefits are a joke, the paid time off is a joke, you're basically just the butt of one big joke when you work here.
