Pros
i love the mission. Families are offered childcare for free which allows them to attend school or go to work. They are supported with housing, food assistance, therapy ( mental, speech, OT), rent, and of course a community. They accept single parent/ low income families. Many families are escaping abuse, homelessness, and cycles of trauma/ poverty. I love the mission and so many are better of because the village exists. They pay very well as well for a preschool salary in Denver.
Cons
It can be overwhelming at times considering student behaviors due to age and trauma. You feel unsupported at times, especially since it is a nonprofit and it can be hard to have everyone's needs met on a budget. There are also cockroaches and we cannot get rid of them =[
