You need to be obsessed with little kids to enjoy this job
|
|
It was a pretty easy job and a lot of the activities were fun. It's an okay job to have on the side.
|
I didn't agree with a lot of their philosophies, so it was difficult to handle some of the unruly toddlers. This is specific to my location, but I had a terrible manager who was passive aggressive and didn't know how to communicate. I was also paid less for cleanup hours.

Can be a great place to learn and grow
|
|
-Great people to work with
-Interesting class genres and growth if you are interested in learning more about teaching
-Company values empathy and work/life balance
|
No HR department or designated staff member to handle such matters, things can fall through the cracks
Pay for part time staff is not great compared to the time and energy required for a great experience for families

REALLY SHADY WAGE PRACTICES
|
|
The kids are fun to work with and the curriculum has some fun activities to teach. Co-workers were for the most part fun to work with.
|
They have a REALLY shady/weird way of paying their employees. From day one, you are told that you will be paid "per class." And yet- our paystub tells otherwise. According to our paystubs it looks like we get paid $19-$21 an hour. But what they don't explain on our paycheck is that we only got paid for the 45 minute window that you actually taught a class. As a lead we got $17 per class and as an assistant we were paid $14.50 per CLASS.
We were required to be at Kidville 30 minutes before the class to prepare, and then required to stay after 10-15 minutes to clean up. We gave Kidville 90 minutes worth of labor, but were only paid for half of it (the 45 min class).
Meaning: we didn’t make $20/hr like it says on our pay stub. We actually worked 90 minutes as a rate of $9.60/hour (And this was in a location where minimum wage was $11/hr). So even though the federal and state governments believe we got paid well above minimum wage, assistants didn’t even make the minimum wage. (Leads would really be making $11.33/hr).
That’s the financial “gains” for the time we actually worked. Those 90 minutes. But we didn’t just teach one class- we taught multiple. And there was often a small amount of time in between that you didn’t get paid for, but also had no where to go and couldn’t work anywhere else in that time.
You give up a LOT of time to do this job. Take a normal teaching day:
- Get to work at 8:45 AM for a 9:15 AM class.
- Prep (unpaid) for 30 minutes.
- Teach 9:15-10:00 AM (paid at the $17 or $14.50 rate)
- Clean up (unpaid) from 10-10:15 AM.
- Go to the break room and sit (unpaid) until your next class. -- if you are lucky the class is actually right after the previous one, at 10:15a so you can get your time's worth. But more likely that class is taught by another teacher and your next class isn't until 11:15 AM (or later). So you sit unpaid- waiting the 30 minutes (or more) until you work again.
- 10:45 AM prep for class (unpaid)
- 11:15 AM Teach for 45 minutes
- 12-12:15 PM Clean up (unpaid)
You have now given the company 3.5 hours of your time (not including travel to and from Kidville- just the hours on site when you can’t work for anyone else). And in this time, you have been paid for two 45 min classes. As an assistant, that’s $29 ($14.50*2). But you have been at work since 8:45 AM. Yes, you had a 30 min break but with that short of a time frame, you really can’t leave. For argument’s sake, say we take that half hour out. $29 for 4 hours of work is a value of $9.60/hour. Most classes are only two days a week, so if you have the same schedule, that’s $58 a week, or $232 a month GROSS- this is before taxes.
Even if you taught 4 days a week, your monthly total is only $464/month gross. Assuming a 15% tax rate, that’s $394.40. The average rent here is $600/month. Working 16 hours a week for a month – a part time job, wouldn’t even pay your rent, let alone any other financial responsibilities.
So find a second job to fill in the gaps, right? Maybe. Often you don’t have the same class schedule every day. Monday and Wednesday might be the 9:15 and 11:15 AM classes, but on Tuesday and Thursday you might be scheduled for afternoon classes. Meaning, any second job you have has to fit in that altered schedule.
CONCLUSION: There’s a reason there is such high turnover with this company. They really make it difficult to stay.

Stop your shady payment practices. Pay your employees appropriately for the hours they actually worked and not just the "class" time frame.
