I started at an MDO (Mother’s Day out) teaching 3-4 year olds. The boss there barely paid me and expected me to make and bring my own curriculum. I left there for a lot of reasons, and now I’m at a place where I literally can’t put anything on the walls or anywhere. The room and entire CHURCH has to look as if “no one uses it”. No toys, no learning materials, not even a name tag. I’m given a single rolling whiteboard that has to be put in a closet every single day. And 3 shelves in a cabinet. The kids can’t even eat lunch in the room, and have to sit at adult sized tables in adult sized chairs.
For a church to look modern and sleek……I’m just 2 days in and I hate it.
My boss is super strict about things that don’t even matter or benefit the kids at all! Like every Thursday parents need to send $3 for pizza day or the kid can’t have any pizza…..how do you tell 2-5 year olds their parents forgot money so they can’t have pizza???? This is a CHURCH. And the learning materials is nothing but Bible lessons. No letters or numbers or basic social skills. This is why I can’t stand institutionalized religions.
