Pros

- Curriculum is already created for you - Daily schedule and class furniture are developmentally appropriate - Tadpoles app is used so you have a direct line to communicate with parents - The center plans events so you don't have to. Ie: Pumpkin Patches and Spring Egg Hunts - Nightly cleaning staff - Pay is slightly higher than other preschools in the area

Cons

- Management is more concerned with profit than the teachers' needs - Students are moved up into their age group almost immediately after their birthday making nearly constant changes to your class roster - Little to no prep-time for teachers - You often have to tweak activities because you don't have the right materials - Communication between classrooms and the front desk is weak - You're with students the moment you clock in until the moment you clock out, so no time for going to the bathroom, gathering or prepping materials, or communicating with other classrooms

Pros

there was nothing good about working here

Cons

they did not listen to their staff they only cared about what the parents saw. they over work and undertrain. i had no training going into this job and i became a lead teacher without a raise and without being told. suddenly i was in a room with a bunch of toddlers all alone. they also don’t give any grace to the teachers everything needs to be perfect. the owners and admin give attitude when you ask for help and even when you call out sick they try to get you to come in. this job was so mentally draining i still have anxiety just thinking about it
