Head Start is such a wonderful program. The local centers have high quality teachers and…read moreassistants. Jessica in Onalaska is just one of the many great teachers!

During my time at Red Balloon, in the beginning everyone was really friendly to me, but then the…read morehoneymoon ended. Over time, I worked alone until about the last month and a half or so. My job was the Kitchen Manager for all 3 centers...La Crosse North, South (now closed), and Onalaska. I was in charge of cooking the food, distributing to the children at North, and making deliveries of food to Onalaska and South. The entire time I felt like I had my managers on my side, but I was sorely wrong, and I learned that in the end. Susan, the financial director at Onalaska, 99 percent of the time either had an attitude, or was snoody with me. I am nice to people, until they screw me over or have an attitude with me. Jennie, the Executive director was nice to me until my last week there, and then she started being rude. I could rip them up and down a new one for what they did to me, They fired me by pinning my co-workers mess and lack of work on me, which was pretty unfair. It was a ploy to get me out of there, but they did nothing, but a favor for me. I am in school now in my Music Ed program, and the biggest joke of all, is that I was quitting within 2 weeks of me being fired anyways, lol.. I wasn't allowed to speak and was talked over when I told them about what they do wrong. Of course they didn't want to hear it, and that's fine. I got the last word and my point across, they know what they do is wrong which is why they have high turnover. I'm so much better than that place and I will be much more successful than Susan and Jennie. Amanda is the other director, but she was always really nice to me, and I appreciate her and ONLY her!
