busy challenging collaborative proactive

Each day was enjoyable with nice teachers and well behaved students. I learned more about safety producers and creating productive schedules. The management was very on top of things and responded quickly. So, everyone got along and it felt like family there. The hardest part was being told I had to raise my voice to get them to listen. Sometimes I think there are other ways like being silly and funny or positive reinforcement. However, it always made my day to walk in the door and the kids and yell my name because they`re so happy to see me!

Started off well, but quickly spiraled. CEO is self-serving and raises self-serving admin who look out for their own.Horrible benefits, horrible pay. Can make more working for the school district. Some of the parents and kids are out of control and admin do nothing. Limited resources. Too much internal conflict. Google the management company to get an idea of what is happening legally.

Stay. Away. You deserve better.

Working at Plato Academy Tampa school was great I enjoyed working with the school aged children. The staff were a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately the program was cancelled. If it wasn't due for the program to be cancelled I would have been working there and continued to support the children.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with the students. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Terrible benefits. Terrible pay. Terrible admin. Not enough support for staff. Favoritism. This was a rough place to be employed and I am glad to be out. Hopefully the CEO and CAO start listening to the feedback they are getting and change things before more staff leave.

I've worked at many preschools and this one was by far the best! Organization was spot on, curriculum was advanced for the students which was amazing, staff helped and supported each other, Director was always willing to help train you for advancement, training opportunities throughout the year, & you were always treated with respect!

Plato is a great school to work for- staff is amazing, bosses truly try and make you feel welcome and comfortable and care about you. Flexible hours with many different locations to pick from.

I’ve worked at a variety of schools, and this school is a gem. Full of great coworkers, parent involvement, and leadership support. BUT focused more on being business then a school. Also, you could work here for over 20 years and still get paid almost the same as a first-year. There’s no room for growth in career, so it can be toxic. 

A typical day at Plato's Home Office is everyone hard at work with some friendly conversation.
The management team is amazing, trust-worthy, and great people to look up to!
We occasionally enjoy actual fun team building activites.

No support for new teachers, catty co-workers, admin/head of school that only sees $$$, condescending admin, and elitist attitude across staff/parents
