Teachers care but structure doesn't meet expectations.

Pros

Many of the teachers love the kids. Building looks nice. Access to good phonics curriculum. Many directors have good hearts and are in the profession bc they love kids.

Cons

Teachers are stretched thin, and ratios are not always maintained. Kids are shuffled around to have the least amount of staff on duty for sake of saving money on hours. Pay isn't good enough for the demand of time for directors and asst director. A lot of turn over. Curriculum is not enforced. Parents pay for specials but due to "hours" restrictions of staff many students do not get their specials

Pros

For a better than average pay rate

Cons

Each individual center director is free to run their world as they see fit and make their staff MISERABLE... I was blamed for a child's allergic food reaction two weeks after the fact, while I was away on vacation. The incident was investigated and written up without any input from me at all and I was officially reprimanded in writing and put on unpaid leave 3 weeks later.
