Tiny Hoppers Early Learning Centre Employee Reviews

Good place to work in but exhausting at the end of the day especially since we only have 30 min break for 8 hrs shift. Supportive staff members but too strict management.

A frustrating work environment

ECE Teacher (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 11 July 2023

Couldn't find any Pros： Working 8 hours and 15 mins with only a half-hour break is unacceptable, some employees work 8.5 hours or even 9 hours with a 45 mins lunch break; Deafening relaxing music prevents children from napping and can even drown out cries; Always using negative punishment instead of positive guidance to children; Poor outdoor play area; Activities' photos are superficial.

Helpful RECE and other staffs

RECE and all other staffs are really helpful and does not treat you just like a student.The workplace culture is really nice.The hardest part is definitely how busy it gets specially on Mondays.

Very clique oriented environment

RECE (Former Employee) - Barrie, ON - 24 June 2023

A good place for those who want work short term, however it’s very gossip oriented, favouritism is a huge contributor to success. The meetings leave your soul crushed as they glaze over the improvements/successes and focus on any points where you’ve fallen short. The toys are -400 level boring and half of them are broken, leading to underwhelmed wandering children. Suggestions you make will take 80-100 business days to be dealt with, and specifically faster if you’re a favourite. Keep your head down and this job will suit you fine

Pros

The children

Cons

Gossip, favouritism, meetings, stressful to the point of tears for many

A family like environment for both the staff and children.

All staff are qualified and experienced. Everyone works with their own age group and Classroom. Teachers are very supportive off each other. The owner is there hands on to help out with any issues or concerns right away.

Pros

Accrued Vacation time.

Cons

Long hours (7-4pm) /(9-6pm)

Soul-sucking place

Toddler Teacher (Former Employee) - Etobicoke parklawn - 17 November 2022

When i first got hired i really enjoyed the management. However, i found there was moments she was unprofessional. I decided to leave while we were having a high turnover. The owners a husband was not happy about that. He proceeded to come into the classroom during nap time while i was working to yell at me in front of children and staff. I left upset. When i came back to finish my shift, the owner never apologized instead i was gaslit the entire last few days of my shift. I also had a hard time contacting HR about the incident. Worst place to work. They only care about the income and not their staff.

horrible

Early Childhood Educator (Former Employee) - Etobicoke - Park Lawn - 7 September 2022

Avoid at all costs! Doesn't follow ratio, this place will make you hate childcare. Benefits suck, employees pay 70% of benefits and they only pay 30% and it comes out of your already little paycheck

Pros

none

Cons

little pay, cheap owners, HIGH turnover rate

Fulfilling and Fun Workplace

Housekeeper/ supply staff (Former Employee) - Milton, ON - 16 June 2022

The teamwork the staff has is incredible, it was organized, fun and I met amazing people that made coming to work something to look forward to each morning. Working with the children and watching them learn and grow was the most fulfilling feeling I’ve had in a job. I would definitely recommend joining their team!

Not that fun

Not sure, i was head teacher, or rece (Former Employee) - Orleans, ON - 10 June 2022

Depending on location, but the educators are not getting paid enough for the work they do. Lots of expectations. And can fire you anytime they want. Was working 9 hours and was getting only 30 minutes break, was expected to get 10 to 15 minutes before shift for free and was staying about 10-15 minutes after closing for end of day cleaning tasks.

Nice to work here

Worst place to work at. Over worked with little pay and always in a stressed environment. Lack of communication and no appreciation towards staff.

RECE (Former Employee) - Etobicoke, ON - 24 March 2022

Have better and FAIR!!! salaries and less talking down to people. Use communication especially in regards to major changes within the centre. Overworking staff for 16 dollars is UNACCEPTABLE!
