Pros

-Got to meet and interact with great children and their families -Most of the teachers genuinely care about the kids (although they get fed-up and leave when they realize they are powerless in an environment of flagrant corruption and refuse to contribute to the negligence )

Cons

-Homogenized approach to promote the brand name that masquerades as a classroom set-up which gets in the way of actual learning experiences -Bottom-line and the $$$$ matters more to the higher-ups than the children -Kids are seen as commodities to the company -Understaffed -Unlawful ratios -Violations of NAEYC rules -Abusive Upper-Management especially at a regional level -Knowledge Universe that owns KinderCare doesn't understand the needs and interests of actual children

Pros

Gained a lot of experience, had a wonderful time and experiences with kids and families, the hours were decent.

Cons

Upper management was horrible and unhelpful in most situations. Co-workers engaged in high-school like behavior. Not enough staff for the amount of kids which led to overwhelming and potentially dangerous situations. It led to burnout very quickly.
