It is more physically emotionally and spiritually crushing than you think. Especially if the people/organization you work for treat not only their staff horribly, but also the kids.

She’s right about the rules. Toddlers are the most hectic to work with. They are always hitting, biting, pushing and running into things and so accident reports have to be written up for an physical marks made.

My reasons why I quit, it because of the low pay and how often I was getting sick.

The best part of this job are the kids. They're awesome, even the cheeky ones. But that's it. They pay is horrendous for all the work. The hours should be illegal. I used to to 7.30am to 6.30pm. I would be there when the parents drop off the kids and when they came back to pick them up. Not to mention you WILL be constantly sick. Kids get sick all the time and it doesn't help that the managers of day care only care about money and ignore the policy of not allowing sick children to attend. Of course they will spread it to all other kids and teachers constantly. Working day care is like the retail of childcare work. It's hell.

There are no pros. American daycare are terrible places for children and workers alike. I have over two decades worth of knowledge about how terrible it truly is. When you're young and ignorant, you think it's an easy, carefree job and able to make easy dough, but it's a lawless system where everyone suffers. Especially the kids.

So today i quit. I couldnt handle all the bullshit and the pressure. The supervisor would host jello shot parties at her house on the weekends and call other employees ugly but on mondays shed want us to respect her. I couldnt do it.

Which child care did you work at first? I have worked in Corporate children care for 27 years. I’m in Minnesota to.

Some employers do not allow disabled people to be more creative to the children because they want the staff who have a degree to create the curriculum for the children without adding more ideas for children. It also depends on the Dept. of Education for children to learn about interesting projects for higher learning skills. How can we make children more interested in learning independently and allowing the children to bring ideas?

However, I'm in college for early childhood education and once I migrate to a center im almost certain the pay will still remain at ten minimum given it would be my first year in and this is just for my associates. So without my restaurant tips considering I'll be at a daycare fulltime, and less frequent deposits I already know it will be an adjustment until I hopefully work my way up the pay system. I cannot imagine what it's like with that type of hourly income! I sincerely hope your center sees some monetary improvement.

So one of your pro points is you get to practice changing diapers? 60% of staff I’ve worked with have had their own children. In my experience, it’s the 18-25 year olds who think they know everything, tell you how to do your job, and bully others. The best mentors I had when in that industry were well over 40.

I really am passionate and I can show them tht even tho I don’t have actual job experience in teaching - I have done plentyyy of volunteering and been a Sunday school teacher/ assistant for children.
