Salary too low
Teacher - Full Time (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 13 April 2019
This company is probably one of the most expensive daycare in Edmonton but the salary to employee is below industry average. The local management is very nice and friendly but they do not have the authority to give staff a raise as the Toronto office has the final say.
Not a fun place
Early Childhood Assistant (Former Employee) – North York, ON – 1 April 2019
It’s stressful. I would not want to go back here. They hire supply staff who have no experience because they just stand there and they whine when you ask for help. Management do not care about the employees. Only positive side is the children and the parents who acknowledge your hard work.
Pros
The cute children and some good workers
Cons
Never leaving on time, Poor management, Low salary
Horrible company

Pros
Free lunches
Cons
Rude staff
Kids are great,company is very short staffed
EARLY CHILDHOOD ASSISTANT (Current Employee) – Langley, BC – 4 March 2019
Lack of staff, let alone quality staff puts a strain on the current workers.
Working with kids can be great but when you have the workload of multiple people it lessens the enjoyment.

Cons
the staff is rude with new people
Worst
eca (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 15 January 2019
I worked as a supply director was great but when she left it all went downhill and when I tried calling the human resource they don't know nothing what they are doing now 320 front st has a horrible director and not even if this was the last job in the world would I ever o back they pressure staff and if you call in sick they are like wolves after you and wanting more information. its sad that a company like this don't appreciate yet explode good workers while the other staff is sitting on their butt doing nothing seems like discrimination and favoritism are hand by hand in this company
Pros
nothing
Cons

Supply Teacher (Former Employee) – Niagara Falls, ON – 2 January 2019
I worked at the Niagara Falls, On branch...Let me just say its a madhouse. Unorganized, non-professional, awful pay (I made more working in fast-food), Cliques( When the site director gose out for drinks with the employees and they talk about their nights out at work, Too many children not enough staff, TERRIBLE curriculum they dont follow the ECCDC or QCCN. Basically if you've just got out of school and you started working at a kids and co throw out your HDLH and ELECT as they dont use anything from those books... Also everything you've learned from school throw it out because you HAVE to do thing their way our your OUT.

Productive, busy day filled with activity and challenges
Teacher/Support Service (Former Employee) – Nova Scotia – 13 September 2018
A typical day a work consisted of communication, teaching others, taking care of problems that occurred.
I learned about dealing with situations professionally, staying calm in a busy and stressful environment.
The culture is driven and has goals and the company works well together to create a good community. The company valued their employees.
The job could get overwhelming at times.
I loved working with all ages and teaching children.

Horrible
Early Childhood Assistant (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 4 September 2018
Would not recommend. Horrible staff. Everyone is angry and against each other. They do not provide the programs to children that they claim to. Everyone is in a rush and the children are not taken care of properly. They do not take the time to feed children or put them to sleep. Horrible place to work at. Horrible place to bring your children. Was making less then minimum wage as a relief worker ($11 per hour in 2016-2017) and my pay did not change when I got a full time contract position. My contract ended months early because a location closed, so even that is not guaranteed. And I’ve witnessed serveral staff lose there jobs because of this before it happened to me. Apply at own risk? I
Cons
Too many to write
Very bad management
Former employee (Former Employee) – Royal Oak, AB – 1 September 2018
Management doesn’t care about staff.all they care about is brown nosing and how they can get to the top.discrimination is so much.
I’ll never recommend any one to work for this company ever.if these two directors still continue to work.

Fun and good learning experience workplace
ECA- EARLY CHILDHOOD ASSISTANT (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 29 August 2018
I worked at Kids & Co after I completed another year of university and was off in the summer.
This experience was unforgettable, you learn a lot of new skills especially in multitasking and in the care for children. The children are fun to work with and the daily activities you do with them are also very rewarding
This job was a learning experience start to finish, the job can be very tough at times but with experience, you start to get the hang of the daily routine and can learn to master it.
We usually start the day by taking the kids outside and then serving them lunch, changing diapers, doing activities etc.
