My wife sold the fundamentals preschool in december and we both were to be employed as this would help during the transition. We were assured that there would be no changes as the company had a perfect reputation for quality.
They have proved themselves to be very oppositional as they do not choose in our opinion to make the correct decisions in making sure that the children in preschool come first and then business. We have seen it go down from there in our opinion and other teachers.
There are now very high quality staff leaving and students as well are now attending other centers as a result of this. The most recent action was that all staff employed over a year was to still have 1 earned paid day off per month. I myself was paid 2 at a time from a holiday ect as was other teachers. My wife however chose to save hers for our vacation and 2 weeks ago filled out the paper to request it. It was approved and signed by the office manager and then 2 days later was told she would not get paid as she couldnt see how we earned paid days off and then stated that all staff who did get them, would have them removed on the next payroll to make it "even out".
We feel this is clear discrimination on their part. I contacted wage and hour board and the payroll companies attorney have been told that wages cannot be taken out now but we will have to take the matter to small claims court to solve this.
The owner has also chosen to eliminate my position as to make her profits larger. My wife has resigned as well and friday is her last day. She feels the clear dis-honesty and lack of care to run a center is call for leaving.
This is a very hard decision to see the center mis-managed and go down hill. She was clearly ripped off by the new owner of earned wages.
The only person that gets hurt in a low quality, non caring childcare center is the kids!!!
