Former employee Jan 31, 2019
I am an employee

When I worked for this location, cleaning supplies, bleach bottles, and employees’ medicine containers were left within reach of children. Mouthed toys were put back on the shelf by teachers and there wasn’t a sanitizing schedule for cleaning toys, shelves, or surfaces touched by children.
Children are told to wait a lot. Before they eat they are told to say grace with “prayer hands” or they are not allowed to eat.
A lead teacher in another classroom didn’t leave the stoop to supervise the children in her classroom on the enormous playground and spent the majority of her time talking to other staff. She yelled at the children to not play in a wood chipped area with a playground set and swings because it was “muddy.” It had rained two days prior, but it wasn’t muddy, and the teacher never got close enough to see that. I was expected to tell children to leave the area as well in order to “not go against” her. I hated restricting the children’s play— doing essential things like climbing, hanging, and jumping— because a teacher didn’t leave her stoop to properly supervise the children in her class.
During nap there isn’t sufficient supervision of the children. A door is opened between classrooms and a teacher is expected to effectively supervise a room full of one year olds and a room full of four year olds. If a child needs help the teacher would have to step away and take eyes off a room full of children.
Teachers leave classrooms and don’t have eyes and ears on the children as they put items away in the children’s cubbies which are in the hallway.
Teachers are encouraged to play DVDs/TV at length. Admins seem to enjoy the way the children turn into zombies so teachers can “finally get some work done.”
Effective discipline— whether conscious or positive— is not in place here. Children struggle because there aren’t routines in place and are told what to do without respect for their ideas and feelings.
