I hated working here
Teachers Aid (Former Employee) - Roseville, CA - July 17, 2021
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThe boss would leave me alone with all the kids. Don’t work here. It’s a trap! All there is drama filled nonsense. The boss will degrade you and make you feel like you are nothing. The pay is terrible. No benefits.
Pros
Spending time with the kids
Cons
Benefits, drama, leaving kids alone with you, under pay

It’s okay
The kiddos are great however the place environment it’s self could be better. I would recommend anybody working there to also have a tough skin and mind cause it can be a little tough especially with the management.

It wasn’t a great environment
Elementary Teacher (Former Employee) - Opa-locka, FL - November 17, 2021
Being a teacher here was good for the students, but everything else wasn’t okay. I was the breakfast and lucnh lady. I was also the janitor and my classroom was basically the cafeteria. The job was okay.
Pros
Students
Cons
Short breaks

Love the kids but administration is horrible.
They want you as a teacher to clean and you can’t bring your bag inside the classroom. Can’t play educational games with the students. Cameras are constantly on you, and you’re being watched. There’s no activities for the kids.
Pros
Working with the children
Cons
Unprofessional

You have your own classroom with a bathroom inside.
V.P.K. Teacher (Former Employee) - United States - January 19, 2020
You are being watched constantly. You're not allowed to bring your purse or handbag in the classroom. Even if there's a secure place where you can keep it locked up. Other people go through your papers and not to mention if the school had a function for the kids and there were some treats left over. You come back to your classroom only to find that it's gone.

Not very clean and unprofessional
Child Care Worker (Former Employee) - Opa-locka, FL - July 12, 2017
The pays is low for the work you have to do. You are watched on cameras all day by the owner and it makes you uncomfortable. I enjoy the children but the classroom did not have enough supplies and the toys were broken.
Pros
Children

Daycare
Teacher (Former Employee) - Athens, GA - July 15, 2015
I worked for this company for several years and there is little to no job progress. If you like working with younger children this is a good place to start.

Could have used better employees
Subsitute Teacher (Former Employee) - Athens, GA - March 1, 2015
The teachers were leaving their rooms all of the time to talk to one another when they are suppose to stay with the kids. There was to much drama going on around the kids, and the teachers could have had better ways of talking to the kids. They don't realize that they are kids, not adults!
Cons
teachers, the way they came on to the students

Fun Environment but Overworked
Daycare worker (Former Employee) - Athens, GA - February 18, 2014
The job was pretty easy at most, except the owner wasn't exactly the best to work with because she never gave me a set schedule and would call me in the day of, or even an hour before when I needed to come in. It became frustrating when I would have school and she expected me to come in during those hours even when I had given her my availability times. Sometimes I would have to work a 12 hour shift and received no break time.

Overall I enjoy working here and would go back
Substitute Teacher (Current Employee) - Athens, GA - August 22, 2013
The Staff at Little One's are great.My daughter also attended this daycare, in the Early Head Start Program. Typical day would usually start with the arrival of my kids and their parents telling us about how their evening went and how their morning is going so far... My co workers were very helpful and understanding when it came to me learning the children and their different personalities. I would have to say that the hardest part was when I had a child that wasn't feeling well or I had a student that was off their meds for whatever reason,they would have a bad day.. I enjoy listening to the kids sing and dance,also they got excited every time they learned something new...
Pros
I love working with children
Cons
bad days when my kids were not at their best for whatever reason
