Child Care Resource Center

I've been with this company for about 2 years now, specifically work for the Head Start program. My position involves working with the families and I have to say, you're always going to learn something everyday as you work with them. However, like the majority of the jobs in the education field, it's underpaid and the workload can be overwhelming. Prone to burn-outs if you really put your work tasks before taking caring of yourself. Definitely consider that before applying. The staff I work with are pretty flexible, so workplace culture can seriously depend on who you work with. Some management teams in Head Start are not as supportive as they can be (definitely have one in mind), so they really need to take a step back and consider how much workload they put onto teaching staff. This is why the company has a high turnover rate. Pay your teachers better and they just might stay with you all longer. Working with the families is probably the most rewarding part of the job, but that too can also bring problems sometimes. I've been in situations in which I felt management was more on the family's side than mine so that was really frustrating as an employee.

Thinking about applying for a position in case management? Thinking about becoming a case specialist? I have one recommendation for you: DON’T. 
CM - HQ is a soul crushing department that will pay you dust while they slave you away. We are given an insanely high caseload that gives many of us stress, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. and management will milk you until you have to go on an LOA or quit. Couple times I’ve been at my cubicle, silently crying because of my job. I’m mostly just angry though, now more than ever. 
Currently, CM is making us work throughout the COVID-19 with its 200+ employees in the building. Oh and all the higher ups that get paid better than us? They’re at home. While we’re at work risking our health and our family’s health. They won’t give us paid time off and they won’t close, regardless of the mandatory order by our state officials. The order was that only those who provide essential services shall stay open. That applies to grocery stores and pharmacies. Not us! Idiots! My paperwork and file maintenance isn’t an essential. That can wait. Our health is priority!!!

I worked as a caregiver for my sister to her children. I worked early mornings from 4:00am to 10:00am. Daily routine included providing breakfast every morning at 7:00am, afterwards I would bathe and dress them for the day and/or prepare them for preschool. Between 8:00am to 9:20am would be playtime, then afterwards I would clean surroundings and prepare the children for their pickup time. Loved the company of my nephews and nieces, they made my job fun and fulfilling. Great bonding time, and also helped me improve multitasking skills. Most difficult times on the job were when the children would have bad days and were mood, however, I would uplift their moods by entertaining them with music or children's educational shows. Patience is key.

If you care about your mental and physical health, I suggest avoiding working for subsidy case management. There are plenty non profit organizations that have better structure, better management and have better pay for what you work with. It’s no wonder people are constantly leaving. Case loads are too high for so little pay. 

CCRS Chatsworth has also failed to fix the AC unit that’s been out for almost a month, which caused some discomfort to 200+ staff.  There has been a brushfire that happened recently and CCRC expected staff to come back to work the following Monday when it smelled like smoke and ash. Not an ideal place to work at if you care about your physical and mental health. 

Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all cost!!!

I've been in childcare for around 6 months now, and schedule's are just about the same at each center, depending on the age group. Arrival, breakfast, free play, circle/art time, snack time, center play, bible lesson, outside play (weather permitting), lunch, nap, wake up, pm snack, pm circle/art, center play, outside play (again, weather permitting), then it's normally time to combine with the other classes to get cleaning done and go home.I get alone good with my co-workers.the hardest part is The parents respecting my contract rules.the most enjoyable part of the job isWatching the kids grow and learn and do new things.

As a contract monitor for the county of Los Angeles it was hard to work a fast paced job when reviewing in detail each child care provider and parent. Detail was a must and that's understandable.

I learned a lot from the county and how they take care of the parents and providers to help parents work. I recommend the job to anyone who cares but it's hard to look pass the ones that do fraud and thanks to them we had to be extra careful on how we audited the files. Any good person would succeed in this job.

Working here was well balanced, through out the day I would estimate and process timesheets for various child care providers assigned to me. I would see them at the front office if requested by reception, so I had face to face interaction with my customers. My co workers were awesome we would go on walks for our breaks, very enjoyable. The hardest part of my job was making sure that deadlines were made with all timesheets being precessed. The most enjoyable was meeting and helping customers face to face; it gave me a break from being at a desk all day.

I was a teacher assistant, but the thing that i like most of it was that me and the other assistant and the teacher would take turn teaching. I had the opportunity to teach the children and see how they reacted to me. I also had the opportunity to see how other tough and saw their strategies.My co-workers were great .Well sincerely i think anything was hard. The best part of  the job was seeing how the children were learning and especially the questions they ask. They are surprising.
