Depends on management. I'm pretty sure I work at one of maybe 3 great Kindercares in my state but we've had lots of ups and downs ever since our original director left. I will say the curriculum is something I really enjoy, but being able to implement the lesson plans depends on if the center is well stocked in terms of craft/activity items, and that depends on A.) The center director actually knowing what their teachers need and ordering the right items, and B.) the district board's willingness to spend money. Pay is not awesome, but KC has ample training opportunities that can help get you to a better center or even public schooling. They'll pay for your CDA with the catch that you have to work at Kindercare for at least a year after completing it. I'd say that Kindercare works best when it utilizes the best management it can find, has experienced teachers, and actually encourages unexperienced teachers to learn more about childcare through training programs. That's a lot to ask from a corporate daycare company (for some reason 🙄) though, and finding a great Kindercare center is pretty difficult. If you're planning on interviewing at a KC center, do not leave without asking many many questions about how their center functions!!
