Pros
- PTO and the kudos program - Tuition Reimbursement
Cons
-High turnover rate -High stress from lack of support in the classroom + lack of prep/downtime -Lead Teachers and Co Teachers are often left with large class sizes (with no inclusion teacher) and little support throughout the day. They mostly reply on CC Subs -The inclusion program is a scam, they enroll children with special needs and IEP plans but there are not enough inclusion teachers to adequately support their needs. The inclusion director is never on site to observe, you can just meet on zoom. -Poor communication from administration (both to teachers and families) - No room for mistakes or error without penalties or reprimands -Overworked and underpaid -The staff development days and trainings provided to staff primarily focus on gender and pronoun trainings rather than trainings pertaining to ECE Development. - The staff is friendly but you really don't see anyone other than your co teacher and kids. Not much time to collaborate with other educators or build relationships. Felt very secluded and cliquey - Mental health is destroyed at this location, you are spread very thin throughout the week -Quick burnout - Low pay and unwilling to negotiate pay rates -The expectation of the workload versus the amount of time you have to complete tasks is very low
