BrightSpark Early Learning Services

As a coach you get little/no training and have high expectations. Contract hours being met is the only concern regardless of the quality of the interactions to meet those hours. You'll often question your job security because if the company doesn't meet hours then "everyone's job is on the line". The company speaks a lot on equity but is really lacking in my experience with both staff, and providers to be equitable towards them. Working with providers is great and connecting and supporting them. However, the overall management, lack of support, acceptance of feedback and even more than mentioned is the biggest downfall of working here.

I've been with CCR for 6.5 years as an Early Learning Coach and we have grown tremendous in the last few years. Not only as an agency but also in our racial equity work. We truly have an amazing management team that supports staff, encourages staff, and is actively involved. The work balance life is something that I love. We have generous PTO, two paid refresh weeks (December and July) , 3 paid off floating holidays days, your bday paid off day and other nice benefits and incentives.  My work is rewarding as a Coach and being surrounded by peers who enjoy taking great care in improving access to high quality early learning experiences makes working at CCR worthwhile. 

While there is definitely room to promote internally at Child Care Resources, HR self-admittedly pays below the industry average of the roles they hire for, and has very murky, unclear policies across the board. There was a huge revolving door in the billing department in 2021-2022, very unprofessional and disconnected management and typical non-profit culture- works its employees well beyond the scope of their roles with zero room for conversation about increased compensation or benefits. HR was all talk when it came to the matter of employees working remote. If you're looking for flexibility with HR, DO NOT WORK HERE.

CCR has a variety of positions, comparable pay, good benefits, opportunities for growth, and operate with a focus on racial equity in the work of Early Childhood Education. The company is evolving in many ways, taking employee feedback to lay the path of the journey.  I appreciate that I can use the skills from my years in the classroom to enhance my work as a Coach. The ability to plan a daily schedule around meetings, complete assigned tasks, build relationships, and operate with integrity and confidentiality is essential to working for this company.

Child Care Resources wants you to grow as an individual while not sacrificing your personal life. 

Daily work is 8:30-5ish.  21 days of PTO to start. Internal hiring is encouraged. Insurance does a great job of coving staff and children. Workplace works to be anti-racist. 

Know your work makes an impact in the community. You know you're helping children get a good start. Things are always in flux with COVID but the company has done it's best to protect staff while still providing services.   

Good work flow great learning opportunities, supportive leader and team members.  I enjoy the flexibility of my role.  The hardest part of my job is not being able to support clients that need extra resources.  

CCR has excellent benefits and PTO ,they make sure you are taking care of yourself.
This is the only organization I have worked for that acknowledge Juneteenth as a paid holiday. CCR also closed down the last two weeks of the year and the week of the 4th of July, this is called a refresh week.

I love my job and feel so much validation and support from the agency, welcoming and caring environment, professional development and opportunities to learn and grow.

As a Coach you will have to drive quite a bit to serve the clients. But the support and the relationships are great. This company is growing  and expanding. 
Overall a good company to work for.

Of all the companies I have worked at BrightSpark, has cultivated an amazing work culture for all their employees. They truly put the employee first. I have never worked for a more supportive company.
