Early Learning Childrens Academy

I have been working at ELCA for 6 years. I started part time and have moved up over the years to Assistant Director, the owner really prefers to move up from within before hiring new staff. 

The company participates in a program to help with continuing education to receive a degree, this is an incentive for staff to not only earn a college degree but to earn raises as classes are completed. There is also a discount for childcare if you have your own children that you would like to enroll in the center.  

The reason that I love it here is the staff. The women that I work with are great! Being in this kind of environment makes the days go by faster and makes it easier to come to work everyday! They are always willing to help each other out in any way possible! COVID has put a strain on everyone professionally and personally and having a group of people at work who can pull together through anything really does say a lot for this center. I would highly recommend the center to anyone looking for a position and also to parents looking for child care! 

A typical work day includes your time not being valued while urging you to be a no limit soldier. Rules apply only to those who aren’t the managements favorite or don’t utilize the daycare provided through employment. The management enjoys giving employees the run around, stating particular objectives only to quickly change routes when you are close to accomplishing. The only great thing about the responsibilities included providing care for the children and staying up to date with families. All in all the community being serviced through the center was the only reason I continued employment. Children and their parents were always a kind pleasure to engage with. Lord knows the work culture and leadership needs major improvement before any higher than a 2/4 Stars rating is achieved. Good luck with things. 

ELCA is a wonderful place to work. The staff at Rising Sun work together and are team players. The support given by their peers is appreciated and valued. Rising Sun definitely has a family atmosphere which make is great coming to work. When you have a great team in place, the children are learning and very happy. Families are also comfortable leaving their children because they know we care about their children and our peers. Healthy relationships creates happy, healthy learning environments.
   

I have been working at Early Learning Children's Academy for 25 years and it is like my second home.

My children were raised here until they became school age and they have so many good memories of the teachers and children that they grew up with here at ELCA.

The staff here at ELCA is very welcoming and supportive of each other, it is as if we are one big family. I have watched so many children grow up here.  Some students even come back after they graduate to let us know of their accomplishments and some when they are of age come back to work with us because they miss being here so much.  It has been an honor to be a part of these Children's lives.

I have worked for many companies but this is the best I have ever worked for and will continue.  I work with fabulous and wonder people with great respect, positive attitudes and strong love and respect for each other and the families they provide care for on daily basis.  The management is always available to share their opinions and suggestions when needed.  The interaction with staff, management, parents and children leave me to always come to work with a smile and leave with knowing my day was productive. 

The staff all gets along nicely… always there to support each other…It’s nice to be appreciated when you have worked here as long as I have… There are some perks for that. We keep a clean and well kept center. The entire staff treats the children here as if they are their own… I  will be here 35 years this September and can say our Center is one of the best in the area and on Rising Sun Avenue…

I’ve had the privilege of being a part of ELCA for almost 10 years, and it has truly been an incredible journey. Over the years, I’ve witnessed the growth and development of countless children, and it’s been so rewarding to be a part of their lives. The supportive, caring environment here makes it a joy to come to work every day. The team is like a family, and we are all committed to fostering a safe, nurturing space where children can thrive. ELCA is not just a place of work, but a community, and I am so thankful to be a part of it. Here’s to many more years of making a difference!

when I first started I was a normal working single mom, as the years went by my purpose and growth changed. the current director gave me a new perspective on life and I proceeded to get my bachelor's degree and now currently working on my master's which I will complete by the end of the summer. this company gives plenty of opportunities to grow within it, the staff support and encourage each other, the director motivates and gives the push you need to improve yourself.

Management was not ok with taking PTO (even when you had it). There was never coverage for days off, so they would give you the guilt trip when requesting off. Or simply tell you no. Very immature about employee situations. Nothing was confidential. Very unfair with way of handling staff, always had favorites. They would hire friends and treat them way better than other employees. I was promised a specific salary at hire and later found out that it was not approved by Owner when my paycheck was given to me with the wrong pay.

I enjoy working at ELCA. The children, families, and staff give me a reason to come in every day and make a difference, no matter how big or small. We provide quality care for our children and promote their developmental growth through play. Our teachers are skilled in many areas and give their all every day. I would highly recommend bringing your child here because the care we provide is like having our own children. We love them wholeheartedly, and it shows.
