The position requires strong organization, attention to detail, and communication skills, especially when managing records, attendance, and student information systems.

The work environment is fast-paced, particularly during enrollment periods, but it is also a great opportunity to learn and grow professionally. I appreciate being part of a team that works together to support students’ success.

The workplace can become busy during enrollment periods and attendance deadlines, but it also provides opportunities to learn new processes and build strong teamwork skills. The company values dedication, customer service, and creating a positive experience for students, parents, and staff.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

UCP of Central Florida has been a rewarding place to work. The most fulfilling part of my role as a Therapy Project Coordinator is seeing the growth and progress our students make and knowing that the work we do positively impacts their lives. I have the opportunity to work across all eight campuses and manage a variety of projects, which keeps every day different and engaging.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been creating and expanding a pet therapy program across five campuses. I also enjoy interviewing, hiring, and mentoring Therapy Aide interns. The internship program is an excellent way for students to gain experience, build professional connections, and often transition into employment opportunities within the organization.
Like any job, there are stressful days, especially when balancing multiple projects and supporting several campuses. The pay does not always reflect the amount of work and dedication many employees put in. Despite that, the mission-driven environment, supportive coworkers, and the opportunity to make a difference make it a great place to work.
Overall, if you are passionate about helping others, willing to work hard, and take responsibility for your role, UCP can be a very positive and rewarding workplace.

Working at UCP of Central Florida, West Orange Campus has been a rewarding experience overall. A typical day is very busy and fast-paced, especially when supporting students with different academic and behavioral needs, but it is also meaningful and fulfilling. I learned a lot about teamwork, patience, classroom management, communication with families, and how to support students with diverse learning abilities.

The workplace culture is very caring and student-centered. Most staff members work hard to support one another and make sure students are successful. Management is supportive and wants what is best for the students and staff. The hardest part of the job can sometimes be balancing multiple responsibilities and handling challenging behaviors while still meeting academic expectations and deadlines.

The most enjoyable part of the job is building relationships with the students and seeing their growth throughout the school year. It is rewarding to know that you are making a positive impact in students’ lives every day.

 My experience with this organization was deeply disappointing. The work environment was incredibly unprofessional and clique-oriented, making it challenging to thrive. Upper management's tendency to micromanage and their minimal efforts to address issues only exacerbated the situation.

There were noticeable disparities among the different campuses. While the location near UCF seemed to excel, others were poorly maintained and consistently lacked resources.

The workload itself was chaotic and lacked clear direction. Tasks were often unachievable or excessive, leading to frustration and burnout among employees.

To add insult to injury, the compensation was laughable. It felt like we were being given mere breadcrumbs for our hard work and dedication. Literally! You’re better off finding a work from home opportunity. 

Additionally, the high turnover rate within the organization was concerning, reflecting the negative impact of these issues on employee satisfaction and retention. Despite attempts to address concerns with HR, the lack of support and resources further exacerbated the situation.

Overall, I strongly advise against considering employment with this company. There are undoubtedly better opportunities available elsewhere, and the potential challenges simply aren't worth the trouble. Trust me!

The professional experience of this past year at UCP of Central Florida has been very satisfying.

What is the best part of working at the company?
  Working at a preschool is a rewarding career filled with daily joy, creativity, and profound moments of human development.  I  thoroughly enjoy working at UCP of Central Florida's preschool program. What sets this organization apart is its commitment to inclusive education, where children with and without disabilities learn side-by-side.  The teachers, along with their staff are truly amazing and are so dedicated to the advancement of the children.
I am proud to be part of the preschool team!  Every day, I get to witness the power of inclusive education firsthand and the babies just melt your heart!


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This is a fast paced job -  juggling the front door, the phones, the staff requests etc  in an 8 hour period.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like any job you have your ups and downs.  We all work well together - there are plenty of laughs and some tears along the way.  But all is good here!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Walking late children to their classrooms, answering phones, attendance, helping the admin team and the teachers.

What is the best part of working at the company?
From the top of the chain to everywhere underneath, there is very little support, teachers, therapists, and assistants are stretched very thin, money and numbers are seemingly more important than the kids. I’ve seen amazing people leave due to lack of pay, compensation, being lied to, manipulated, pitted against other staff members and undervalued. Its a tricky environment to rate because I loved my immediate team and made alot of good memories and connections with the staff and parents within the school. However, I ran into alot of unnecessary obstacles due to  unprofessional supervisors that were  consistently out of compliance. Things also started changing at the end of school year that made it hard to return. Like the increase in workload without any additional incentive or promise to fix the previous issues to make the job realistically manageable while still putting the children first. 


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of consistent communication, leadership, training and transparency make this job difficult.

As a Teaching Assistant in an inclusive school, I support students with diverse learning needs and help create a positive, supportive classroom environment. The role is both rewarding and challenging, requiring patience, flexibility, and strong communication skills. Some days can be very stressful due to the wide range of student needs and responsibilities. However, seeing children smile, gain confidence, and make progress in their learning makes the work worthwhile. I have also been fortunate to work alongside amazing coworkers whose support, teamwork, and encouragement help make even the busiest days more enjoyable and pass more quickly. Although the pay is relatively low compared to the level of responsibility and dedication required, helping students succeed and being part of a supportive team provides a strong sense of fulfillment.

Beware!!
Sabotaging is real, It begins with administration. Purposefully give you kids with extreme behavioral challenges with little to no support if staff got injured.
As an employee it was expected of you to allow yourself to get hit, kicked, bitten, cursed at, yelled at, have objects thrown at you by the students. It was frowned upon to ever file workers compensation.
Pay is extremely low and administration also expected for you to stay overtime for the after school program since no one wanted to actually do it.
Not supportive, clique-ish environment, grown adults acting like they are in high school. Do not trust anyone, even if they seem nice because they are all great at pretending.
Make sure you keep a paper trail of conversations because staff will gladly throw accusations your way and step on your toes every chance they can get to make it seem like you’re not capable of doing the job.
High Turnover, Low Pay, Little to no support, not safe for workers or the kids.
