Pros
Their outcomes are amazing. They've helped kids and families with some really challenging circumstances. "Draw water from a stone" is the picture I keep getting. When there is conflict it tends to get dealt with. A number of staff members have their own kids at the Learning Center, which I think increases that family mentality. Compensation for teachers is far and above other opportunities in preschools, mostly because there are kids with challenging behaviors and needs. Diversity is really strong, both in staff and families served.
Cons
I've seen some teachers who have gotten a bit jaded or grumpy, but on the whole everyone people are compassionate and patient, with the kids and with each other. It definitely sucks that the Learning Center is in the basement, so it's sort of dingy and poorly lit.
