To Clarify, This pertains to one room only:
> The 2016/2017 4K2 Site 1 "classroom" (4k2@kohls.com) RATES ONLY ONE STAR for unimaginative activities and lack of worker interest in providing appropriate learning.
> The other "classrooms" rate all of 5 STARs.
I have worked at the Kohls CDC for over a year and have been very disappointed as an employee who had heard such great things. This center has no understanding of a work/life balance and makes zero efforts to partner with it's employees. My main issue has been the complete lack of flexibility. When you work with children you are going to get sick, it's just part of the job. All of my previous centers have accepted doctors notes and this one does not. You are also only allowed 3 sick days before you build up occurances which can keep you from getting promoted for at least a year or get you fired. I got a really bad inner ear infection that made me so dizzy I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs let alone chase after children and got occurances for missing work despite both common sense and and doctor saying there was no way I could be at work. Even if you have an illness that the center itself will not allow you to come to work with you will still get penalized for not being in your classroom. If they really cared about their teachers they would understand that keeping us healthy helps keep the children safe and healthy as well.
The glowing portion of our experience with the Kohl's CDC includes: clean environment, activities offered are fun and interesting, food choices are healthy and differ day to day and a few of the teachers I've encountered are wonderful and pleasant to communicate with. Those select teachers and special instructors, I feel, truly care about children.
The downsides: a few teachers and "leads" do not encourage a true partnership with parents or guardians, disrespectful behavior coming from a few teachers and "leads", children are not valued as unique individuals, and you truly feel like your paycheck is all that matters here. The CDC does not take a kind, considerate, progressive approach to child care. Teachers talk about children in front of other children. Teachers nitpick every little thing that may 'go wrong' during the day; yet when something truly alarming happens, it's not that big a deal. Although some of the activities are great, that doesn't matter if basic child care is not there. We knew that our child was not cared about because when our child left the center, it was like any other day: 'see ya.' Overall, all things considered - both the bad and the great - I could not in good conscience refer anyone to this child care center. I'd read reviews prior to us sending our child here but what I saw the first day enchanted me. I was wrong to dismiss the reviews. The disturbing unfortunately outweighs everything else.
