London Bridge Child Care Services Inc

Management was off or unavailable too frequently. Management was not supportive and frequently made rude comments to staff. Staff were constantly shuffled around in different rooms and locations. Children were moved around to allow 'master educators' to be out of their rooms for frequent meetings and outings (such as going out to eat together, going shopping together, driving to another location to pick up something). Regular staff were under appreciated and over worked. Serious occurrences were left unreported. Several times I was stuck operating over my ratios due to staff shortages or late staff. Staff meetings were seen as mandatory and after hours that lasted late into the night but dealt with none of the actual staff issues. 
Staff turnover was high. Staff were put on extended probation after the initial 3 months to not offer them permanent positions or benifits. 
When staff approached the CEO to see if things could be changed the staff were later called in by management and were yelled at.
I would not work here again.

I really enjoyed my time with London Bridge. I was raised at one of their center's and did the summer internship twice. After becoming an intern I applied for a full time infant position and had the best time working with the staff there and working with the children as well. London Bridge helped me in my ECE journey to not be so shy and to try out experiences with the children. The work environment is very collaborative and hold what they values high. 

A typical work day for me was very enjoyable. I was the late shift which I did not mind because it worked better for my other fellow educators I worked with and worked for me as well. I worked 8 45am to 5 15pm and I would usually be able to go home early as I would get all my closing duties done pretty quickly and we had no late children. I participated in tasks like changing diapers, providing a safe and healthy environment for the children indoors and outdoors, helped with meal times and general interactions with the children and families. 

London Bridge provides their employees with great learning opportunities and invest in their professional development. 
They provide quality care for children and families but leadership isn't trained well and are missing the compassionate and empathetic aspect of their role. 
Many educators don't feel valued and are made aware that they are easily replaceable. 
there is a high disregard for those interested in moving up in the company and taking initiative to do so. There is clear favoritism and when positions are available, leadership already has an individual in mind before the position is filled not giving a clear chance to other candidates.  
Training and learning opportunities are offered during staff lunches (45min- 15 min paid 30 min unpaid) this is "optional and voluntary" but it is frowned upon if you do not attend.

What is the best part of working at the company?
working with children, some families are amazing and make you feel like you are something. left working feeling loved and fulfilled.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
unfortunately, everything else. Some coworkers are not easy to work with. The management doesnt really care about their employees. Inconsistency expectations in every center.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some days are easy going, some days are stressful. The work environment and culture very depend on the director of the center (talking to coworkers). The director made me feel like im not a capable educator so I had to resign for my mental health.

Workers are overworked and underappreciated. Senior coworkers won't hesitate to treat their newer colleagues like servants and would disregard their coworkers' needs/ circumstances if it meant that they are to give up part of their privileges! Gossiping is another horrible trait among colleagues especially gossip that targets parents and their kids. You will be deceived at first by the big titles and nice words but the more time you spend at this place, the clearer the picture becomes... No more than just words. Work culture is unfriendly and chaotic. This organization does not live up to its standards. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I found it enjoyable collaborating with supportive colleagues and generally enjoyed working with children.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You’re expected to do more than the job description says, and management might not support you, depending on the centre. 
There’s no mentoring or support system for new employees, and some struggle adjusting to the routine.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You are in good hands if you are one of their favourites.
Good luck.

Seemed amazing at first, but asked innapropriate questions during the interview about medical history. I let it slide, and had a couple good shifts, but then a medical incident occurred, and after telling me to go home, which they didn’t even offer me a cab, I had to walk, they told me I couldn’t come back without clearance. I got the clearance but decided not to go back.

Coworkers are interested in hurting each other and do not work collaboratively. Very few educators care about the children and most decisions are not made with children in mind.  Educators are angry and may even seem as though they can not control their emotions in front of the children.  Management is not involved and allows fighting and discord.

A typical day at work was supervising children from enfancy to age 5 yrs.. Preparing meals for children, Planning daily crafts and activities for children, supervising children during indoor/outdoor play. etc.

I left the job because I was not getting enough hours

I started here with a paid internship through Fanshawe College.  I was immediately given full time hours after the internship for a year and then was brought down to on-call.  Loved the environment and the people. Unfortunately it tended to be unorganized and good people were left without recognition.
