Pros
Higher pay than in my area.
Kontras
Around our center, Directors compete to save money and are recognized by their superiors. As you guessed, that affects our center. Low supplies causes teachers to spend their own money. Inadequate staffing causes teachers to work on their own time and become stress. Ratios are advertised as NAEYC ratios but are not. This corporation has a business mentality and working in the field, having proproganda shoved down your throat is not ideal. One training video suggested that there were many families without childcare and it was our duty to let them know about our center... Um no. It's not my duty to invite more families into a stressful environment just so that knowledge universe can reap the money benefits. My duty is to provide a healthy/safe, meaningful, creative, and loving environment for our children, of course while maintaining the classroom, displaying their work, and working with parents to create a clear communication on how we both should be working with their child.
