Review from Admin Dept
Teamwork, hardworking and love each other like family.
At this time i am unable to answer this question. I am hoping for good change
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Not lying to parents all the time
They need to replace the entire executive team- they have driven off the talent that made it a good company. They all have gone to Learning Adventure & Learning Care Group.
Everything need to be better
Need to be less judgmental and more accepting
They need better communication skills
What is the best part about your compensation package?
In general I think is perfectly to myself
Nothing nor god pay and even my holiday pay is wors they cut and no PTO not vication no holiday right pay
All of it sounds good
Dental and Vision is very reasonable and the 401 K plan is a great plan there are 3 different tiers to how you invest.
Absolutely everything about it is the best part
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
compensation is respect and having the ability to have your strategies and plans heard. Children matter,salaries matter. Salaries matter , they save lawsuits and families that leave.

I do not make enough to afford a one bedroom apartment on my own as a career teacher. I often go without medication because I cant afford it. My co teachers share similar stories
I'd rather have merit based pay increases.
Being a teacher there is a ton of responsiblity but the pay is not up to par
More pay and better benefits.
What are some of the best things about your team?
There is alot to be said with so much turnover.resetting and refocusing comes natural to our leader,

I have a handful of co workers who really care. I also love my students
working with the families and children
No racist & peace most of the time. Alwys try to resolved conflicts
The families and seeing children reach and exceed milestones.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The director. The pay. And the staffing
Hire more qualified teachers , pay better, communicate
A person who supports their staff to let them grow.
Management involvment with classrooms and
Better pay for teachers to retain them. We weren't offering competitive pay for them to stay long term
What did you like most about the interview process?
Relaxing & the person who interviewee is approachable & very nice to boost confidence
The fact that it lasted about 2 hours and by the end it felt more like chatting with friends than an interview
It was easy, felt comfortable
It was easy. Thorough. Was hired and working within a week
I like what the Director had to say about, how the company was professional and well organized. I loved the fact that I was ensured that, I would have support. Know we have a knew director and the center is not being properly ran.
Review from Operations Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Way too easy anyone can have a job
In the interview they should explain the philosophy of the center to give the employee the opportunity to chose
I wish there was more transparency. Things arent consistent, and they make it out to be like it is.
It was fairly ok. Its just that nobody really stay there.
This is not applicable, ok.
What makes you most happy at work?
The kids. I love working with them, even on the most exhausting days
Watching my children grown through the years and have the ability to build strong relationships woth this families
Seeing kids happy and learning & growing in all aspects of their life.
Consistency but also the ability to adapt quickly to any variables throughout the day.
Having a day where I can teach my class and have fun watching them learn and grow.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
We are only perceived okay because managment is always lying to parents.
We need to be honest with the parents and stop thinking strictly about the corporations needs only and really focus on with the parents and the children need. KinderCare has gotten way too deep into its own bottom line and profits and his let go of the values of the children and staff.
Review from Admin Dept
Disciplinary policies need refined and to be taken seriously and actually utilizes.
Our manager doesn't know what she's doing. The company doesn't pay enough.
PAY THE EMPLOYEES BETTER WAGES! PAY THE EMPLOYEES BETTER WAGES! PAY THE EMPLOYEES BETTER WAGES!
