Pros

Some of the reason I like Goddard are that I always get 40 hours a week being lead teacher if I need it(only beause my class is now full). My boss is easy to talk to. I love most of the people I work with at my Goddard. My children are very good most of the time.

Cons

The level of work a lead teacher has to do monthly is a lot. Sometimes it is had to work with out my assistant. This happens if we are right at my ratio for my class than my assistant has to go home. I wish we got dental or paid time off.
