What I wish was different

The hours were a little long and the pay wasn't great but I loved what I did so it made up for it.

Preschool Teacher

August 2015 • Rockford, IL

What I liked

I loved that I could lead a class and teach curriculum and have lots of great learning experiences towards my teaching degree.

What I wish was different

It was set up more like a daycare and I felt like I was treated just like a daycare worker and not a teacher. I loved the kids but didn't care for the way it was run there.

Advice

If you don't have a teaching degree yet but have an associates then this is a great learning experience for teaching, if you are going into education. Just know that it is still a daycare so you will be treated as such, and there is no guarantee that you will stay in the room you were hired for.

June 2015 • Lancaster, PA

What I liked

I like working with the kids and participating in field trips.

What I wish was different

I wish people at Kinder Care would be more organized.

Advice

I have worked there for four years and it is a different day everyday. I would like to say that I got the taste of being the head teacher everyday over the summer. Most days it was overwhelming because my co-teachers would look at me expecting me to calm and control all the students but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

May - September 2019 • Jacksonville, FL

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

My one advice was to make sure you stay strong and remember to do it for the kids. During my time there I saw way too many teachers leave and give up and I think most of them really don't understand how damaging it can be. Children are our future and we must do what it takes to make it the best for them.
