Pros

Excellent benefits including maternity plan, childcare discount (best in the field), education benefits, discounts on the things you use everyday like cell service and more! A caring company that is very focused on meeting the needs of its teachers. Our feedback is asked for frequently and changes are made based on this feedback. I really feel heard and supported in my role. With so many locations and opportunities there is always room for growth. KinderCare has truly invested in me as a person and an employee. I am so glad I chose to work here.

Cons

I honestly cannot think of one. I love my job <3
