As someone who used to work there, I can pretty much say what you have seen, the negatives, are all true. Staff is short handed, and usually way over ratio. I don't want to give too many details, bc of fear of backlash by the owner... but there was a time where i was a senior staff (also known as a teacher) and I had QUADRUPLE the allowed ratio by myself. Whenever the Child care administration would come, there would be a mad scramble by the director to make sure there were assistants where there should be, etc. One time, I was moved into two rooms while the inspection was going on, WITH A DIFFERENT NAME TAG.
Pros: Loving teachers, assistants
Cons: Everything else
