KinderCare Learning Center Employee

"Nothing new under the sun. This company is the same as all the other corporate businesses that claim they are the number one child care provider in the country. Low staffing issues, low wages for employees (though we're not doing it for the money, right?), gossip among employees, very few "thanks" from families, not enough supplies/support to keep children engaged, and the list goes on and on. I don't blame KinderCare. This country does not value education the way other countries do. So, money will never be invested the way it should be toward the things that really matter-the children. Teachers will continue to be overworked, underpaid, and thus will suffer burnout. It's an epidemic across the entire field. But if you have the heart and are dedicated to making a difference, it can be done, no matter the company."

"Pay attention to the needs of your employees, quit worrying so much about the money that you forget that we are not robots! Treat us with respect, we do the most important job, and that is taking care of tomorrows future! I understand money is part of it, but its not everything!"

"I like being able to interact with everyone here, parents and teachers. I like being the person that everyone turns too. However their is no growth, or challenge."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

What don't you like about working at KinderCare Learning Center?

"Everything at KinderCare is based on ratios. When my boss decides to not come in, I am left to manage the center alone for the day, attending to 20 teachers and 75 children. It is very difficult, and very annoying.I have worked with this company for 3 years, and there is no room for growth, or monetary increases."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Be present at the center more often, rather than taking off for frivolous things. I would be open to my employees and they will know exactly what is needed to fulfill their jobs successfully."
