Family-friendly environment but understaffed - Assistant Director La Petite Academy Employee Review

Working as a Director at Learning Care Group was a very positive experience. The company has a supportive leadership team, a collaborative culture, and a strong focus on professional growth. I appreciated the opportunity to make an impact while working with passionate and dedicated teams. Overall, it’s a great organization for leaders who value teamwork, development, and making a difference in early childhood education.

The work can be fast-paced at times, especially during peak enrollment periods, but it also creates opportunities for growth and leadership development.

Rachel is very supportive and that is hard to find in management with a company this big. They give you a childcare discount for children attending any of the company schools. With working for a big corporation like Learning Care, there are teams for everything to support you. Coaching and mentoring younger staff be who they want to be will always be a huge pro of this job. Usually the staff we get are ones who use us as a stepping stone to what they want to do forever, I love getting to know them and helping them get where they want to be.

Salary is lower than some other local companies. Work life balance is a constant struggle but that’s not just at this company, just in this field in general. Early Childhood education is a hard field to stay in long term making turnover higher than I would ever like it to be at my school.
