Well The view was overlooking the lake. Kids there were fun, families were great & so was the director and owners.
Cons
Low pay, no benefits, no sick time, no vacation time till your anniversary date. Hardly got days requested, jam packed rooms with ratio at max, 12-1. Pre-K room had too many kids. Site wasn’t closed much around holidays, that’s when I left.

The experience you will gain working with the children, will remain with you for a lifetime in a positive manner. Also it's a great resume builder.
Cons
The pay isn't that great. Also being assaulted by the children isn't a plus. Upper management are a sub group of their own, and only worry about themselves. If your not a PD or above, make sure your on your P.Q's in order not to be reprimanded. You have to play into politics to ensure your place at Lakeside Academy.
