Pros
That's simple - the children! You have to understand that most of these parents enroll their children in the YMCA because they simply cannot afford a better pre-school. Despite the low cost for parents, I think that the YMCA has very high standards. On the other hand, they don't pay their employees well and ask for an extraordinary amount of extra work, beyond childcare. And now they are requiring assistants to take a 3 credit course on childcare every semester - and they have to pay for it themselves.
Cons
The pay is very low for assistant teachers.
