Wow. Something is going wrong in whatever recruitment process there is…
Perhaps yall can invite the interviewer for a visit or walk-through of the day-to-day activities, so they can ask more relevant questions and explain the job better instead of sending you so many unfit hires.
Honestly, in other places I’ve worked they’ve had me “shadow” others to get a feel for the job. I was surprised the place I’m at now didn’t do that. I suspect the reason is insurance companies (since our school fills a medical need) and them not wanting to pay to have two people in a single session (unless one of them is a manager.)
The training is pretty thorough in itself, which is more than I can say for the other places I’ve worked. We all take an intensive 2-week course, even the directors and center managers. We spend some time with the kids toward the later end of it, but most of the two weeks are spent on teaching techniques, safety care, professional ethics, and honing our imagination skills (which was my favorite part.) We all go into this knowing we’ll be working with kids who might not be potty trained, or who might have difficult behaviors (aggression, climbing, elopement, biting, just to name a few.) It’s one thing to know about it, but the real test is doing it every day. Some people can tolerate it, some people can’t.
I don’t blame most of the people who quit right away - at least they recognize their limits. Except that one lady, the one that didn’t take kids to the bathroom. That’s just negligent.
