“My daughter was one of the first kids enrolled at Children Of America in Marlton when they opened in 2020. She attended all the way through Pre-K and even returned for summer camp last summer. She absolutely loved all the teachers and friends she made. I am very happy for choosing Children Of America in Marlton as her childcare and I would definitely recommend that you stop in for a tour if you are in the market for a great educational childcare.”

“We are truly grateful to Director Luis for his patience and care. We also sincerely appreciate the teachers of Jasper and Aria for their warmth, dedication, and professionalism in guiding our children each day. Seeing our children grow both academically and emotionally means so much to us. We feel very thankful and at ease knowing they are in such loving hands at Children of America Marlton. Highly recommended. “

“Our daughter attended COA for a year when she was two years old. Her teacher was Miss Eternity, who was absolutely incredible. She is everything you’d hope for when looking for someone to care for your kids; attentive, caring, and fun! We are so glad our daughter was placed with her and was able to learn from her kindness every day. Our daughter now attends a school closer to home, but we feel so fortunate that Eternity was there for us and our daughter at that stage in her life! “
Michael & Meghan Kelleman
“The whole team is amazing and incredibly welcoming. My daughter had never been in daycare/preschool before and 1 week in she was running away from me to go play with her new friends and go see her teacher. Made everything so easy and so perfect.”
Sarah Botzenhart
“My son started attending COA right after he turned one a couple of months ago. It was very hard for the both of us to be apart because we had been home together for a whole year but Ms. Carmen and Ms. Mekio made it a very reassuring transition. I knew he was comfortable and getting the best care although he was away from Mom.
He has moved up since he started and his current teacher Ms. Daishanise is also amazing. She keeps him busy and engaged in their activities. Every day he is happy to come in and play with her and his friends. She also follows all of my special request and keeps him so clean! Thank you Ms. Daishanise, Ms. Mekio, and Ms. Carmen.❤️”
