Pros
The teachers are excellent and the families are generally very nice.
Cons
Administration is disorganized and disingenuous. Food, toys, and classroom supplies are not ordered when they are promised, leaving teachers to scramble to make last minute substitutions to snack or lesson plans or even use their own money to fill the gaps. Administration is generally abrasive to staff, creating an environment where teachers feel unwelcome to share their suggestions or concerns. Communication between admin and teachers is inconsistent, leading to a work culture based on confusion, gossip, and fear, primarily due to the demeanor of the assistant director. Back in March, this location experienced a large turnover. I applauded the director for taking this situation and hiring new, qualified staff. Now that the teachers have improved, it is time for admin to take a few refresher courses in adequate and fair leadership.
