I have been working as a full-time substitute-kindergarten teacher for a year, and it is easily the most fulfilling job I have ever had, despite it being regarded as a very feminine business. Considering how extremely dominated it is by women, I feel like I am positively influencing these kids weekdays by being a good, male friend and role model. In my year of doing this, I have been to a huge selection of kindergartens. Some are private kindergartens, some are governmental kindergartens, some are family kindergartens. By now, I have seen it all.

However, there is something that needs to be said, and it needs to be said clearly. Some of these kindergartens can break your kids, and that is no understatement. And the reason I am posting this in TRP instead of someplace else, is that the main factor in all of this is women.

Kindergartens are seething with feminists, and in some instances, female psychopaths. That is no understatement. All kindergartens will appear ideal from an outsider's perspective, but behind the curtains there is a lot of depressing stuff happening. Out of the (atleast) forty kindergartens I have been to, I think I might be able to recall perhaps one or two female employees who actually took time to be with the children. In 80% of cases, all they will do is drop some toys on the floor and then proceed to chat with their colleagues for an hour, and the only true interaction that is taking place are the interactions that are mandatory for them to do.

Not only do the children feel isolated from the adults, but I there have been several incidents were children have been injured, and the women will literally just drag them along the ground while the child is screaming in tears. Some may interpret this as simple discipline, but in reality, it is contempt for their own job and even children in general.

Now, on the other side of the table, we have men. In the extreme majority of cases, men in kindergartens are simply beautiful fucking people. They will exhaust themselves daily just to make the kids fulfilled and entertained, and believe me when I say that I have zero confirmation bias in any of this.

Now that you know, allow me to point out the red flags that you should be aware of when selecting a kindergarten for your kids:

  • No men

This is the most dangerous one. The ones with an exclusively female staff are outright terrifying and potentially traumatic. This is the express motorway to a dumbed-down and feminized son.

  • (Many) women between the age of 40-50

These women are very often completely devoid of sympathy and do not have a shred of enthusiasm. The majority of women in this age group fucking hate their own job and radiate a bitter negativity onto your children. Militant feminism runs thick here.

  • Women between the age of 55-70

Although some of these women can be quite kind and gentle, the majority of them are extremely aloof and absent-minded. They've been stuck in this occupation for as long as they can remember, and they are essentially just drones on autopilot.

  • Young, beautiful women

Are you touring a kindergarten and starting to become more drawn towards the female staff than the interior? Leave. In literally every instance, the young (19-24), gorgeous woman will be more absent-minded, apathetic and aloof than even the 60 year old woman. Constantly checking their iPhones, strutting around like self-entitled beauty pageants; if there is one type of person to turn her back while your kid is playing with a dangerous object, it's the young, beautiful woman. Keep in mind, this only goes for 9/10's or 10/10's.

  • Heavily overweight women

This is my most oblique point, but every obese female I have worked with haven't had the energy to even talk to the kids. If you're under the impression that she's actually very sweet, ignore this point. If she seems lazy, move on to the next.

  • Extremely high-budget, high-tech, private corporation

Although there could be exceptions, I have not encountered any so far. All of these fancy and expensive kindergartens have a brutally stressful environment. The most nervous and hyperactive kids I have ever met have all been in these types of facilities.

Now, with that being said, what should you be on the look-out for?

  • Men

This goes without saying, but the most positive influence on your kids will be men. As already mentioned, the high majority of men working in kindergartens are good, trust-worthy people. Age does not even play a role here. If there is a 50% male presence or above, you'll be good. Keep in mind that different employees serve different roles, so the more educated the male staff is, the better. If the male staff are almost exclusively assistants, while the women have higher positions, that can in some instances serve as a red flag. Find out what position the men have.

  • Outdoor kindergartens

Although I haven't been to many, these are fantastic. Outdoor kindergartens are usually located in or near a local forest, and your kid will be out all day, carving wood, making fires, getting fresh air, and going on adventures. The employees are often fantastic folks too. Keep in mind, these establishments sometimes lack an actual kindergarten, so everyday logistics may be an issue for some.

  • Family kindergartens

Family kindergartens are privately owned kindergartens located within a residential house. This type is almost always very down-to-earth and stress free, though they rarely accommodate kids over the age of 3.

  • Choose lower budget over higher budget

Although you would perhaps expect the opposite, the best kindergartens I have worked in have usually been the ones with the lowest budgets and least features. If the books are missing pages and the staff fits the check list, this should be a good sign. Once again, stay away from the overtly fancy ones.

  • Multicultural kindergartens

At first, this might seem illogical to some, but there has always been a strong corrolation between multicultural kindergartens and supercool children. The ones who are almost exclusively white tend to be worse. I cannot really give any particular reason for this, but a majority of the very multicultural ones (40% white/60% other) have been nothing short of lovely. I don't really know why, but the children seem to be way more open-minded, more respectful and actually smarter, both intellectually and socially. Would recommend.

I hope this will serve as a good guide for any prospective parents out there, because trust me when I say that the wrong choice can be catastrophic. That is not to say that if a kindergarten does not match each criteria, your child is in grave danger, but there is an astounding difference in the children of each type of kindergarten. One may house the kindest, most intelligent kids you will ever meet, while the one across the street may house the most restless, impolite and anxious children you will ever have the misfortune of meeting. It may sound cruel, but it's the unfortunate truth.

I will be answering questions if there are any.
