New Beginning
I have decided to hand in my resignation tomorrow to Gymboree. I've been there for 1 1/2 years and I am needing a change. Carol,my manager, left last week and they hired a 22 year old who just started with the company 1 month ago to be the manager. To say I am a little pissed that I wasn't even offered the position is an understatement and I really don't feel like staying there anymore. I see no future and the bs that I've been dealing with lately just isn't worth it.
I have been offered a paraprofessional position working in the school system with pre-k special needs. I would be working with Carol, my former manager, since she is the lead but the pay just isn't enough to justify taking the position. I would have to find alternative care for both kids since it would be 5 days a week from 7:15-2:45. The salary would barely cover care for the kids which would not work for us.
I interviewed today for a Lead pre-K teacher position with theGoddard school http://www.goddardschool.com//Schools/Kennesaw-GA/Schools.gspx 2 minutes from my house. The pay would be more than double what I make now and I can bring the kids with me at a 50% reduction in tuition. Katarina would be in a Pre-K program and the school is NAEYC certified. Right now she is enrolled in a 4's class at a Presbyterian church with no accredidation and it is religious based curriculum. I am torn since I have been very happy with her school and she's been there since she was 2. I do know that she will be fine at the Goddard school but we have had made such great friendships with the people at her school and Leo was supposed to be in the 2's class this year. That school starts on Monday. The owner ,who I interviewed with, told me to bring the kids by on Friday from 9-11 to see how they do in their designated classes before I make a decision. He seemed really nice and wants to make sure the kids will be happy there before I accept the position. By next Monday I could be starting a new job as a pre-K lead teacher and I am excited yet a little scared at the same time.
That's all I have to update now.
