I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The center is very inviting and the staff are very polite. The creativity in the classrooms are awesome. Love seeing smiling faces and lots of "KID" done artwork. The daily sheets at the end of the night are awesome and informative and the fact that they add pictures and videos is a plus. I always recommend Oak Creek Children of America to friends and family

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

If I could rate this Company more than 5 stars I would give them a 10. Children of America in Oak Creek are so nice and friendly. When I walk in, in the morning with my son I am greeted with a smile and a "Good morning how are you?" from the management team and staff. The center is always clean and smells amazing. I know and feel confident every day when dropping off my son and know that he is in the safest place possible. I can look in on him through the Always Close By app if I need to. I love that they offer this feature to their families. Their curriculum is amazing as well, my son comes home each day singing new songs and telling me stories about his day. The director Mrs. Cyndi is always so friendly and answers all my concerns and if she's not available the assistant director Mrs. Stevie takes over and does what she can to help out. My son has learned so much from them. I made the right choice enrolling him in Children of America. We all are so happy.

I am an employee

This is an awesome company to work for. I have been with the company for 6 years and and have advanced in my roll with the company very quickly. They treat their staff great and support them whatever way they can. The company helps you further your education by teaming up with the T.E.A.C.H program. I honestly wouldn't want to work anywhere else. The teaching staff and corporate staff are "Awesome" and very caring to the families that attend the center. They always make sure that the families needs are met. Truly an "AWESOME" company to work for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
