I don’t place much clout in a disgruntled ex-employee post, but I would like to understand. The center is run by two unprofessional people? Could you clarify if that is in reference to the Director and his wife? If you are referring to his wife, please let me know why you feel the need to slander a person whom you’ve never met or had any interaction with and who doesn’t work on site. Unless you feel that doing administrative work, cleaning, and coming in on the weekend to do things for the center in addition to her full time career is unprofessional? Or did you mean the THREE management personnel in the office? Or were you just making up something? You also seemed to be fine with the environment until you were removed from it. You mentioned you left? Would you like to rephrase with a little more truth behind it? You are implying you officially resigned and left on your own accord? It was only terrible AFTER you departed? You are still friends with many of the staff members there, I’m sure they appreciate your uncalled for degradation of them too. You can keep these people in your personal life with no objections, but you will trash them at their jobs when you no longer work there? There are a lot of great staff members there who dedicate themselves to the children and genuinely care for their well-being and development. In regards to the money for activities: How much did you spend out of pocket on fun, for how many children, how many days? Are you aware that there are costs to running a business too? I can personally attest and provide receipts to things purchased for the children and their experience at the center. Many teachers have no problem taking project ideas to him with an estimated cost to get it approved. Then all they do is bring in a receipt and they are reimbursed for the cost of the supplies for the activity. Did you bother to do that? As far as disciplinary action on staff members. That is not something that is discussed with other staff members. He would not discuss disciplinary action taken against you to them either. If someone chooses to act unprofessionally based on their perceived assumptions, they are also responsible and are held accountable for their own actions. Disclaimer: I am the Director's spouse. I volunteer my time to the business. I also pay tuition for my child who has attended the center since she was one year old. I have also purchased things for the center on my own volition from my personal account. So no, I'm not in it for the money - neither is the Director. I believe in small businesses who genuinely care about the child and those who show their dedication to those children and their development. I respect and support the staff that is there and takes responsibility for the kids and their own actions to act professionally. I implore anyone seeking childcare to do their own research and site visits to evaluate what is best for their child and not rely simply on ex-employee rants over the long term quality staff that the center employs and the families who have been there for years with multiple children and entrust the center with their care.
