Pros

Spring has offered excellent professional growth, and has a deep focus on developing employees at all levels. I transitioned from teaching in the classroom to a work-from-home position to support our schools and have worked with a large number of managers and supervisors at various levels on projects. All of them have demonstrated a focus on providing excellent education to our students and all have been very supportive of me, personally, and others. I have worked for Spring Education for several years, since the group purchased the school where I taught. While structural changes within the company can be concerning to experience, it is an expectation within large organizations, and the adjustments and repositioning make sense over time. I have enjoyed working as part of Spring Education Group, and look forward to continued growth in my role. One of the biggest positives for me is the truly excellent work-life balance. Every person I have worked with at Spring has a clear understanding that life happens and a person's family is their priority. Team members are always ready to help and provide flexibility. I am very fortunate to be able to work full time from home with a team of great people and balance that with being present for my family and kids when they have notable events during the business day.

Cons

I would love for our benefits options, specifically health insurance, to be a bit more affordable for a family plan, but there is a balance between utilizing a large provider to be able to find care and keeping costs at a minimum. At the end of the day, I'll accept paying a bit more to find a doctor more easily.

Pros

Spring Education Group sets you up for success in your job as an Enrollment Director at your school. Professional development, weekly team huddles, and even meeting together as part of a regional team helps you see the bigger picture and helps you feel very supported every step of the way.

Cons

Sometimes mistakes can happen in fast paced environments. Spring Education Group is quick to seek to understand any and all mistakes however and they are eager to listen on how to help you improve your school, your job, and they consistently provide a very supportive team environment.

Pros

Some of my teachers were fabulous. I loved hanging out with the babies and some of the primary children. School had beautiful Montessori works.

Cons

The principal in the Montessori Academy brand is expected to take full accountability and ownership of the campus without any authority to do so. I was brought into a struggling Campos with the instruction that I needed to build culture to reduce staff turnover. Unfortunately, the staff turnover is due to chronic understaffing, one sided toxic, anonymous HR reports, teachers frustrated with zero prep time and lack of support because the admin team was usually in ratio. Huge pressure to boost enrollment when we didn’t even have enough teachers for the students we had. Mixed messages from corporate from week to week. Our Campos was built without functioning heat. Our full sun exposure playground had zero shade and no play structure. Corporate was unwilling to spend money to improve our playground. Do your research and understand that Spring Education Group is owned by Chinese venture capitalists who are trying to apply the same strategies they use to manage a portfolio of self storage facilities to extract profit per square foot from these campuses. I received communication multiple times per week, emphasizing the need to boost enrollment and never once had someone asked me how my students and staff were feeling. HR department is only there to protect Spring Education Group. They have no interest in researching what is true or not true… HR is not there to protect employees. It’s there to protect corporate.

We are pleased to hear that you valued our Montessori classrooms, dedicated teachers, and the children in our care. However, we are deeply concerned by the challenges you experienced regarding staffing, administrative support, and communication. Campus leadership is a vital role, and it is always our goal to ensure our Principals feel supported by our corporate team. We take your notes regarding facility maintenance, resource allocation, and staff well-being very seriously, as we are continuously working to improve our workplace culture and operational support. We appreciate your dedication to the campus during your tenure and wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
