Yall, Im 2 months in & I am doing my thing as best i can (managing staff, cooking, playing cleaner and teaching most mornings) but I just want opinions on whether I should continue or not.
Im a current center director. My daughter attends with me. She transferred over here with me to this new center. This is my first time directing as im usually in a classroom teaching. .
Here are a couple things that have happened that made me side eye but I don't know how 'large' these issues are considered.
•They operate multiple centers and if a center is short they merge them to another one. So currently I have 2 buildings in 1. It's not many kids but the confusion it leaves them with is borderline depressing to watch. A lot of times the teachers receiving these kids do not get names or ages.
•My name was found to be on two centers, not the ONE I am at.
•There's no actual professional development.
•So many parents are complaining about account issues and i cant even answer them because im confused too.
•I remember being told in the beginning that I could 'make up my references' for my folder. I didn't do that. But I viewed that as a very poor standard. And I actually have great references.
•The owner told us that the only person above her word was Jesus. Which, is wild.
•We were also told we were only there to 'fix a problem'. Imagine how that sounds to ppl actually excited about their career/ a new career.
•As a director, my child is supposed to be attending for free; however they're getting money on her behalf still from the state which I was unaware of until recently. I believe they've also been charging me the copay.
•The turn over rate is incredible. It's wild everywhere but here especially.
There's so much more that I may be missing here. But id just like opinions on what YOU would do in this situation.
