I Applied and Was Interviewed For a Lead Teacher Position, But What Was Then Told To Me  During My Interview Was That I “Did Not Have The Required Sufficient Amount of Educational Credits To Be a Lead Teacher”, So Instead I Was Then Offered The “Teacher Assistant” Position In Which I Accepted. 

My First Day of Hire I Was Placed In a Classroom That  Exceeded Ratio of Children To Teacher and Absolutely No Lead Teacher In The Room. 

I Was Then Instructed By The Director To Curate Lesson Plans, Daily Health Checks, Behavioral Logs and Student Observations in which Were Not Detailed In The Proposed Job Description That I Accepted,  But Indeed a Lead Teachers Responsibility.  

With Having Multiple Conversations With Different Staff At The Site, I Then Learned That My Situation Was and Is Still a Reoccurring Issue.

In Fact, Majority of The Classrooms Had No Lead Teacher, Only an Assistant Teacher Doing The Job Duties of a Lead and Being Compensated Less. 

It Was Then I Realized That Bean Stalk Academy Hires “Teacher Assistants” To Have Them Fulfill “Lead Teacher” Duties and Not Properly Pay Them. 

 The Daily Unprofessionalism Presented By The Sites Director, Created an Unbearable Toxic Environment For Both Staff and Children. 

I Would Not Recommend This Company To Anyone Looking To Further Their Work Experience With Children or To Simply Work In At All. 

This company is extremely unorganized and dysfunctional. They do not educate our children, they only care about enrollment numbers, not preparing our children for success. They do not provide training and professional development for teachers or administration which result in children not receiving a good education. This is a drop off center for children, not a school, not an early childhood program. This company offers no benefits and is constantly in trouble with department of health. Their centers are always shutting down because they do not follow regulations. There are no benefits here and everyone working here is only high school educated. They make everyone work 9 hour shifts. People are fired every week. The corporate office team is a joke, they are all unexperienced and have no idea what they are doing. It’s all a money scheme to exploit minority children. If you want to be a little apart of exploiting children in under served communities in a ghetto drop off center, join the team. Otherwise, please run far away from this place and do not even apply if you have integrity. You will regret working here!! 

While the students at Beanstalk Academy were respectful and wonderful to work with, the overall work environment was very challenging. Management often created a stressful and unprofessional atmosphere, and there was a noticeable lack of teamwork and communication among staff. Work place drama and poor leadership contributed to low morale, which made it difficult to feel supported or valued in the role.

The core responsibilities of the job itself were not difficult and could have been rewarding in a healthier environment. However, the culture at this location often overshadowed the positives, leading to unnecessary stress and negatively impacting overall well-being.

I have been working at Beanstalk Academy WP2 over 2 years and I do not see myself working anywhere else. I am happy, grateful, and content to be a WP2 employee. They have been extremely supportive during my journey in school. WP2 has given me guidance on working towards my strengths and overcoming my weaknesses. I have gained the confidence to trust my capabilities as a Lead Teacher. It is a positive workplace and management is always concerned about their employees welfare. Managements positive outlook and radiant good vibes energizes the WP2 FAMILY! I genuinely feel like WP2 staff truly makes a difference by making lasting impressions and memories for both their employees and their student's families. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The whole environment is warm family like staff are supportive respectful & caring. I actually live it there. Only complaint is you dont get paid for holidays during your first 90 days i think thats not fair.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I honestly havent been stressed out. They day goes smothly and i look forward to the next day.
Sometimes i feel bad because some of the kids cry when their parents leave.


What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Its a great atmospher you always feel like youre apart of a great team. The culture is kids come first and were here for them. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Im a cook so i come in put on my theme music and prep for the day

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part is the staff at the site.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Feeling over worked, unsupported and overwhelmed by upper management. Also, the company only care about the money and not the children or staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very toxic.. very overwhelming and unhealthy environment.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It varies from day to day depending on staff call outs. One day can be good and the next chaotic. Upper management does not support in any way and only steps in when things go wrong.

Typical day at work is pretty much stressful when u come in because u can’t even get yourself together first before the kids come in they have to many children all mixed up in the classrooms
And it’s very hard to teach them because they are all on different levels. Also there are only 2 Teachers in the classroom which should be 3 so the students can be watch more closely. The most enjoyable part of the job is Teaching the children 👧 but I wish there was more supplies for the children and more indoor activities like a gym for them to get there energy out

Our diverse and inclusive community at Beanstalk Academy creates a supportive environment for teachers of all backgrounds and experiences. With a focus on professional development and growth, we provide resources and opportunities for our teachers to continuously improve their skills and excel in their careers. Our students are eager to learn and our administrators are dedicated to creating a positive and collaborative work culture, making Beanstalk Academy an ideal workplace for both new and seasoned teachers.

Being a seasoned childcare professional I was able to start at beanstalk academy with a goal and vision in my mind for my assistant teacher and I to execute for our classroom. The moment I entered into my classroom I felt a sense of acceptance that I have not felt in years since working with young children. My director is understanding and always willing to work with you when you need her the most!

The company is in a period of rapid development and therefore has a few associated growing pains, but has so much potential with its new leadership team. You can tell staff really care about the children, are knowledgeable and motivated, and many are pursuing their Associates/Bachelors. The kids are ADORABLE, most families are cordial, and upper management has been supportive. Wish we had more holidays/vacation time off!
