KinderCare Learning Companies reviews

Working system and structure is very dependant on the site

Hands down this is the worst employment experience I have ever had. I have never seen a team of high level leaders so micro managed the way they are here. Every step. Every minute. Every hour. Every day. The focus is on growth and adding enrollments and controlling expenses. That is all. Not to say that is not important, but there is so much more that matters. Quality of programs, employee development, safety, cleanliness. Equal attention to all is not the focus, despite what anyone says. High pressure to grow enrollments is the premier focus. Teacher pay is not competitive at all and unfortunately that reflects in hiring and quality of teachers in the centers. I do want to say despite that, there are some wonderful passionate teachers in the buildings that care so very much. More competitive pay would help add so many more and create higher engagement for those already there. Voted a Gallup Exceptional Workplace - do not buy into this. You do not matter. You are just a number. KinderCare is not about their people no matter how much they try to sell that. Also to those retail leaders thinking this no night and weekend thing sounds good, be warned. You take this job with this company home. There is high stress and emotion that does not exist in retail. And couple that with the feeling that nothing is ever good enough if you are stuck with growth. It’s a lot. It changes you and not for the better as a leader.
