Class Professionals Blog

Teaching is an honourable profession.  To know that you can have a profound impact on a young person’s learning and indeed happiness, from the young child to the young adult, is very powerful!

The women that work at Class Professionals make up 80% of the team – our ages range from 30 to 60+, and we are all very very different people, from different backgrounds, different countries and all with different hobbies, family lifestyles and view-points.  The thing that bonds us all together in work is that we are a team, we are women who look out for one another, care about each other and want to make each other shine, we are also very fortunate that the remaining 20% of the organisation (the men of the team), are wholly supportive and encouraging of each individual and their own needs to make work ‘work’ for them.

Rest and sleep time is a nice peaceful time in the centre with sleeping children looking ever so cute on their little beds dotted around the rooms while white noise and lullaby’s play in the background. Perfect time to get some much-needed work done but before the Manager knows it, they have a tour of the centre booked in and new parents and two excited children are waiting at the door, eager to see inside and have a play.

A Centre Managers day doesn’t just start early, their day has most likely started the night before, sitting at home, rearranging staffing for the following day or getting on top of the paperwork they missed while having to jump on the floor to cover lunches or maintain ratios.
