I absolutely love the staff at Children of America. They are phenomenal, caring and always welcome us in the morning with open arms. My son can not wait to get to school and see his teachers each morning. Beyond confident he will be ahead of the curve when he gets to Kindergarten.
Horrible! Think twice before you enroll your child at Children of America because you will surely regret it. My child is constantly coming home in someone else’s diaper. The reports I have of my child getting hurt there without an explanation are endless. I have seen other kids push my child to the floor and the teacher was not even paying attention and I see the same situation on camera. The daycare is very shady when it comes to pricing and rates. They don’t have a standard rate for every class. Every parent in the SAME class pays DIFFERENT price. The tuition rates rise every January- about 4%. On top of all of that this year all of a sudden they tack on an extra $20 per week if your child is there more than 10 hours in a day. In my area the average commute is about an hour- this is my commute so how would you expect to have a child there less than 10 hours when everyone works a minimum of 8 hours and ½ a day. All they care about is taking your money and they will take it twice in the same week and give an excuse that it was a system error. The director there is very unprofessional and rude. When you ask her a question, she makes it seem like you are bothering her and will give you an attitude. Her kids go there and that is the only thing she cares about. The corporate office was unhelpful and won’t accommodate you or address any concerns you may have. I would never refer anyone to them after my experience. If you love your child stay away from this place.
