DO NOT WORK FOR KINDERCARE

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Teaching children, the curriculum, dental benefits are affordable but not health care, your child can attend

Cons

Always short staffed. Management are very unprofessional and lazy. Ratios push teachers to be under stress. How can 1 teacher take care of 12-15 children. You will only get up to $14 an hour and no more raises after that. Raises are cents per year. They only care about money and over enroll with short staff. They tolerate teachers not changing diapers or leaving children outside by themselves outside. They hire teachers that are not capable for being responsible for children. The food they serve the children is like prison food. This is an absolute horrible industry to work for.
