School Age Child Care Head Teacher in Reston, VA

Individual centers

Each center is different, mine is awesome but not all are as great as others. There is a lack of communication from the central office to the individual centers.

Great benefits and job security

Great people and job security. Board runs most decisions. County provides good guidance for employees. Co-workers are great and very supportive. Commute can be tough but they encourage compressed work weeks and telecommuting. Pay could be better when compared to private sector.
