They claim to be what they aren't

Pros

Great people to work with. Decent pay. No nights or weekends.

Cons

They let the children run wild and abuse the teachers. When you ask for help you get told "you got training on that" so why have behavior support people? I know! So they can fill in the classrooms as full time staff. Getting hit, kicked, bit by prek kids daily gets old. They only care about their behavioral health side from the CEO on down.

There are few remote work opportunities but this aligns with the job responsibilities as most are in direct service.
