Topp Kids

As a Before and After School Program, you are working a split shift for a total of 6 hours if you are an Acitve Play Coordinator and  8 hours as a Program Coordinators with 2 hours doing administrative duties from home.  

The hardest part of the job for me is managing adult relationships and personalities in the community, the school and co-workers.  However, I also feel the most enjoyable part of the job is building relationships with those same adults but especially the children.

I respect the family culture that TOPP KIDS strives to foster.  Throughout the year, there are celebrations, team events and recognition. The CEO makes an effort to visit all Program locations and makes himself available to everyone.  There are also many leadership and support positions which helps with work load and moral.  It is easy to grow personally as well as within the company as there are many free professional development opportunities. The company works as a team to provide coverage for any days off.  In addition, sufficient paid and personal days are available.

Working here, I’m guaranteed consistent hours and a predictable work schedule. Being around kids all day is of course very fulfilling. Not only that,  but I’ve also found myself to grow very fond of working with fellow educators on a day to day basis. I appreciate the structure of Topp Kids and how they operate on a multi department basis; offering multiple opportunities for professional growth and support both from within, as well as from external resources and events. The way I feel is that Topp Kids (in comparison to other establishments in the child care and education field) goes the extra mile, and that is something you can truly feel more often than not while working here. I genuinely feel as if I play an important role and am contributing to creating positive experiences for the kids that I work with. 

Truly an amazing group of people to work with - well educated, talented and so much fun (TK hires the best of the best!). The schools and families they operate with are exceptional and make the day to day work life very enjoyable and rewarding. 

Hard work is rewarded and growth opportunities are consistently made available. Professional development is a huge part of company culture. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for employment or child care. 

A typical day of working at Topp kids includes spending time with the kiddos before they go off to school. Planning activities for them. Return to work in the afternoon having a pre shift meeting to get updates. Hanging out and supervising the children once more before they are being picked up. 
I have learnt so many things working at Topp Kids as they have on going learning experiences through trainings as well as learning on the job. 
The most enjoyable part of the job is planning parent events and watching it come to life.

Topp Kids likes you to think all of the employees are a big happy supportive family. But behind the scenes there is a total lack of support, understanding, and actual listening by the higher-ups. There are favorited employees who are running things incompetently,  but no one wants to listen. Supplies run out often and are not provided. Employees are not reimbursed for money spent on supplies. Children with severe behavioral problems face no consequences for abusive actions against other children.  
Pay is not a living wage. Especially considering your day is split into 2 shifts.
Lots of attention put on paperwork that no one reads. 

Working mostly with kindergarten children, who are eager to have fun while learning through play. I have learned to appreciate everyone as individuals and to value their inquisition at this young age, being there in a professional way to guide them and use every teachable moment we can get together. I like the workplace culture of Laugh, play and learn as we see the children truly enjoying their time while under our care. I would like to see more unity, transparency, and professionalism among coworkers, but overall I enjoy my time with the children.

A typical we developed activities with the children,  must of the time they contributed with their ideas to make the project more unique. I always learn from children to improved my self. I received support from my manager and I had an inclusive environment where everyone is a team player. The hardest part is setting up and takedown 4 times a day the furniture and carpets .I enjoyed expending time with the children,  I love my job is very regarding each day.

I love that my job is flexible to allow me to look after my young family. 
I love that I have been able to grow within the company, utilizing my skills/knowledge into different roles throughout my time here and  that I was provided the opportunity to create a new role within the company and continue to grow and adapt. The most enjoyable part of my job is to be able to be the first contact with families and sharing the excitement of TOPP KIDS programs  and get them all signed up. 

They do such a good job at hiring great 
caregivers and Educators  and the Regional Managers are so supportive, helping everyone grow. The Professional Development manager always hosts great PD options and the company is growing at a rate that makes it easier to grow laterally. I truly enjoy my job and would recomend it to anyone looking to explore afterschool programs.

Fun place to work. The pay was too low though and expectations too high to drive to various locations a few times a day (split shifts and then team building meetings). Thankfully the Government provided a little bit of extra money based on your education but it was still too low for me. Fun place to work. Stressful at times with management always coming to sit in and evaluate as well as the accreditation process. Great management!
