Pros

Supportive management that is open to feedback and new ideas. Meaningful work with children, with opportunities to see their progress over time. Collaborative team environment with experienced therapists and educators who are willing to share knowledge.

Cons

Working with children can be physically and emotionally demanding. The nature of the work sometimes requires flexibility with schedules during events or school holidays. Also, the PR part with parents can be very emotionally exhausting as they are very anxious.

Pros

- Can learn a lot as a beginner (Group therapy and 1:1 ABA), good starting place to work - Good colleagues, it’s a fun and relaxed environment, management will back you if parents are difficult - 1:1 therapy timings are not as strict as some other places, more leeway to do admin - Given a few days off throughout the year

Cons

- Not much career growth/ salary increment - Existing lesson plans need to be modified/changed to suit the children but not enough time to do so during work hours

Pros

The Growing Academy is a very meaningful place to work, especially if you enjoy working closely with children and seeing their progress over time. The team is supportive and willing to help one another, which makes the work environment more positive and less stressful. I’ve learned a lot from my time here, both professionally and personally, especially in understanding different children’s needs and how to support them better. Management is caring and the work feels purposeful because you know you are making a real difference in the children’s development.

Cons

The work can be tiring at times as it requires a lot of patience and energy, but that is also part of working in this line. It can be fast-paced on busy days. Parents can be quite demanding at times even though you know u have tried ur best, but sometimes cant help but to feel demoralized. There are also a good number of parents who are nice to us. Management will guide how to build rapport with parents, but its not easy.
