I have an interview with a Creme de la Creme. I been to one before they are over the top inside. Other then that what can anyone tell me about them? Anyone know do they have benefits or what the pay scale is? How is the school? Any thing else you can please tell me. :thanks::thanks:

 

How can we be expected to give insight on a particular school when we have no idea what school it is? I'm assuming Chicago area based on your previous posts.

 

Creme de la Creme is a national pre-school program located throughout the US.

 

Gotcha. Did not know that. :lol:

 

I was thinking the same thing giraffe. Never heard of that one. Also, can someone please teach this person to start a thread properly with a title

 

Only reason that I know is because a relative sent her kids to one and would constantly brag about how much it cost and how her kids were more ready for school than mine who stayed home with me until they went to kindergarten. Come to think of it they were so prepared that neither have graduated from college unlike my kids (all will have a college degree by Spring 2015) who were not ready for school because they did not attend a specialized preschool program. Sorry for the rant but I heard the same thing for at least 15 Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations.

 

I am assuming that you must fill out an application for employment, or else they aren't doing their job very well? I am so not preschool, so not much help.

 

Glad I'm not alone.
And

 

I seriously thought the same as you Giraffe. We have plenty of "creme De la creme" type schools here in NYC. :lol:

 

I looked it up. They do not exist in Michigan or North Carolina. There are 24 locations in only 8 states. (No NY either, Bunnie!)

 

They are in Texas! I know that for sure.

 

Interesting. There's no need for them here. There are more than enough super selective prestigious established preschools here with waiting lists that even celebrities can't pay their way to get into. There was even a documentary about it.

 

To the OP have you looked on Glassdoor to look at reviews and salary?

The only reason I heard of it was because I lived down south for a while. lol Creme definitely would not be competitive here.

From what I gathered when I visited one (for my own child) was that they charge a lot of money because they have all the bells and whistles. As a early childhood teacher, I could tell that it was all smoke and mirrors, and that they do not pay much to their "teachers." They are similar to other expensive chain centers and private preschools.

So to me as a teacher, they get a :| from me. Not worth it. lol

 

I have never seen one!

 

Plano Area

 

That explains it!

 

:lol::lol:I lived in Plano one year..I gotcha!

 

There's definitely one on Long Island.

 

Off topic, but I'm doing a happy dance that you're back, Mike!

 

Welcome back! Hope you're feeling all good!

 

help

Ok does anyone have any advise or just off topic bashing of me! LOL :help:

 

Did you look at the link I posted? it has reviews, salary info etc.

 

I didn't see any bashing. I think you got some good advice. Like I said, it's a regular day care/preschool. Low pay, lots of work, long hours, yet parents pay a ton of money.

Look at the salary and reviews on the glassdoor links that Bunnie posted.

 

Have you Googled it? What research have YOU done so far?

 

Recently/last week I had an interview at a Crème de la Crème. I was told by the director that they would let me know next week. I gave them a copy of my portfolio that has my resume, transcripts and other certifications. I sent a follow up email after the interview. I am very interested to start a rewarding career with Crème de la Crème. Do you please have any advice?
Thank you,
Tom Passarelli :thanks:

 

Any advice about what? waiting to hear if you got the job?
looking up the information online via the link provided by Bunnie? what are you asking advice about? Asking us about the pay scale, if they have benefits, or how the school is, well that's really something you need to look up or ask HR. How would we know? Don't mean to be rude but your posts are not clear.

 

:dunno:

 

:lol:

 

Here's my advice. Clean up your Facebook profile to ensure it doesn't have images with the F word, or status updates with the F word... that's generally not a desirable thing for most preschool teachers.

All the best!

 

LOL! Not to mention the racist posts...

Should probably set your stuff to private.

 

Wow. I don't want to dogpile on this, but that FB page was incredibly easy to find once I saw the other posts.

 

Those racist posts are a HUGE red flag, especially considering the daycare you apparently work at serves a largely black community.

 

Talking to yourself or was there another reason for this post?

Racist, and sexist, and cursing...oh my...

 

Thought the same thing....

 

Why oh why, is he asking the SAME thing over and over again? And then puts his full name on here. Geez Louise.

 

Thanks.

 

You're welcome (I think).
