Pros
The parents and co-workers were amazing. I got along with the owner and the administrative staff most of the time, and I enjoyed being able to control and have ownership of my own room.
Kontras
My experience is clearly not a common one. The owner and some of the administrative staff are not well liked by the majority of the staff. The turnover rate is unbelievably high. In a staff of about 20 people, maybe 4 or 5 stayed at the end of each school year. I have seen parents leave the center and go elsewhere purely based on how unbending and abrasive the owner and her front desk staff are. There is no organization for new hires, continual training, paperwork, or teacher placement. The owner will hire someone for a room and place them in 4 other rooms and will say they never hired for the original room in the first place. The workers are constantly stressed, and the classrooms are almost always at max capacity with little or no relief. The teachers barely ever get breaks (including restroom breaks).
