Helping Hands Daycare

I had a really great shift and loved to come into my room in the morning to greet my toddlers. we had a morning snack, outside time, then art and sensory. Circle time where we sang songs and read books, lunch time then nap. After nap time we had a snack and outside play time in the afternoon. I learned how I want to run a classroom and how i do not want to run a classroom. The coworkers were friendly, and we worked very well as a team, i could always depend on them. The hardest part of my job was being criticized  by the supervisor instead of rewarded and appreciated for my hard work. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with the children everyday and watching them grow, as well as developing  close bonds  with the parents.

The owners very obviously could not care less about the daycare or staff in general. The program director is extremely rude to staff and very unfriendly in general. It’s extremely hard to get any kind of extra materials or toys and they are often extremely cheap and once they break, they are not replaced. There is constantly broken materials and equipment that does not get fixed in a timely manner or usually in general. The supervisor at this location is amazing as well as the staff. Overall I wouldn’t recommend. 

My short time at Helping Hands Daycare was filled with wonderful relationships with their children and parents.  
  The centre is like many other centres which is hiring the minimum number of qualified  ECE Teachers to work with children in the community.  These teachers have many issues they have to encounter everyday working with unqualified personnel who they then have to teach the right way of supervising children. The centre was more out for the money than quality care.

The owner is phony. It's all about business and nothing about the staff and children. I have seen staff force feed children and mistreat  special needs children. Staff is not professional or qualified to care for children in some centers. You are not allowed to eat with the children and are expected to use your own money for supplies. I have personal experience there over 5 years. I've seen too much. Do not work there or send your kids there

I worked for helping hands for 2 years and then new management stepped in. I got off on the wrong foot with the new supervisor. She made my days long and hard. The owner was horrible and did not care for her staff at all ! Like another comment I saw I was told the same thing by the owner “ I know people in this industry “ I felt as if my career was threatened. Staff are very untrustworthy and are catty.

When I was working here as a casual, I sometimes did not even get any sifts for two weeks. Working here you have to be proving your self to everyone even if you where there for one year. If you work here no one really has your back and you can be pushed around. But each of these daycares have fully different rules for everything. The hardest part of the job is communicating with the parents.

I enjoyed working for helping hands up until a new supervisor was put at my location. The supervisor disliked me and made my days hard to work. I had no choice but to leave. Some staff were ok others were very chatting and untrustworthy. The owner threatened to end my career by saying “ I know people in this industry “ I would not recommend working for helping hands

Unprofessional, petty and drama filled. makes you hate going into work. They do shady stuff to benefit themselves.  Even parents notice how bad it is.

Management caused a lot of unnecessary stress! The supervisor needs to retire. Most staff were amazing as were the kids and parents. One of the assistant supervisors was lazy and didn’t follow the rules but expected you to. They need  management overhaul!

It's very busy but that is typical of all childcare. It's very rewarding to see how the children progress while in your care. 
Some days are harder than others especially when there are several staff that call in. 
Supervisor is amazing always helpful.
