PARENT TESTIMONIALS
I enrolled my son Scott into your Infant A room six months ago. I am very pleased with the school so far. The staff has been incredibly nice and helpful. I have no anxiety about leaving my son, which in turn makes it easier for me to go to work with peace of mind. Even though I have only been with the school for six months it is leaps and bounds better than the previous school we were attending. You have thought of everything, from required tummy time to allowing parents to view their children anytime during the day. As a first time mom I have to say that I am very impressed with the care and attention each child receives. With smaller groups the children seem to be happy and well taken care of. Thank you.

After visiting several day care centers, my husband and I have decided to enroll both of our children at Children of America beginning in January 2012. We were so impressed with your professional staff, beautiful school (all of the rooms are extremely clean) and I think your program will offer the best environment for our children to learn and grow in.

I wanted to take a minute to tell you about the wonderful staff at your Trappe, PA location. My daughter attends the before and after school program at that branch and I could not be more happy! My daughter is allergic to Chocolate and accidentally ate some at her school (due to the school not following procedures). She was put onto the Children of America Bus and was sent home by the school. I just want to let you know that your staff handled the situation with such professionalism. They kept my daughter calm and gave her the medicine that she needed to help the reaction stop. I can not begin to tell you how aware they are of each of the child and their needs! Currently my daughter does not feel safe at her school but does feel safe at COA and I can't tell you how much that means to both her and I. Just knowing that she is in a safe environment is the best thing for a parent. I want to thank them for all that they do! They all should be commended.

As I have mentioned several times, I really appreciate the understanding that Nicole and Tori have shown in terms of the various family circumstances I have discussed with the both of them and how much is catered to me. I have really been impressed in the care that has been exhibited towards my two boys (in the Toddler and Two's room), especially in comparison to where they previously attended. The teachers seem to show great interest in their well being/safety and just as importantly to me their learning. I have seen great strides in their vocabulary and ability to carry conversations in only their 4 months of attending the center.
Please continue to keep up the good work!

I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful work you do with caring for my son. I adore the kindness of all the employees and teachers there. My favorite thing is coming in each morning and they know my son by name. I can't say how thankful and appreciative I am of the Director Mary and her coworker Ms. White. You all are the best in what you do. You made a mother who was so afraid in leaving her son for the FIRST TIME at a daycare, feel comforted and safe with her selection.
Also, my son couldn't have gotten a better teacher than Ms. T, oh my goodness, she is so caring, thoughtful, and motherly like is just AWESOME!
I love that he can interact with kids his own age and learn new things each day rather than just sitting in a home with family not learning things. I thank God every day for the blessing of finding all of you.

I am the grandmother of Mykola. At the request of his mother and with the permission of Children Of America I met his group on two of his recent field trips. The first one was at Christiana Skating Center and the second was at Brandywine Zoo.
On both trips I was impressed with the teachers that accompanied the class, Crystal and Shawnice. Both teachers helped the children skate and watched over them with great attention. At the zoo the children remained with their group, listened when the teachers were talking, and were extremely well behaved. It was evident that the children knew the expectations of the teachers and respected them. If slight redirection was needed it was done by the teacher in a quiet and respectful manner. You should be proud of such top notch teachers.

We are writing to express our gratitude for the extra time and attention you've afforded our son Zaid this year. We are pleased with all the efforts you have taken to ensure Zaid has a successful academic year in preparation for Kindergarten. From day to day, Zaid
has enjoyed and looked forward to another day in pre-schoo1 with Ms. Tameco.
As we continue to prepare for the big day, first day of Kindergarten, we have seen improvement in Zaid's overall pre-school experience. We have also noticed a change in his social skills along with counting, ability to recognize letters and sounds. His Kindergarten assessment was a success. Thanks to your hard work.
The assessor was very pleased with his basic knowledge skill set. She concluded with expressing to me that Zaid's scores were above the expected during his assessment performance. He is ready for Kindergarten. With your dedication and instruction, he has an entire different approach to learning. He is more enthusiastic to learn and shares with us everyday what; "Ms. Tameco said."
I thank you again for all the wonderful work Ms. Tameco has done. We are very impressed with Ms. Tameco's teaching ability, as well as with the amount of care and attention she's given Zaid. He is very lucky to be her student this year.

Hi! My name is Tiffany and I wanted to share with everyone how amazing MY "Mrs. Jen is!!
On July 18, 2011 my daughter Aaliyah who attends Stony Point COA went on a trip with the camp. My daughter passed out from heat exhaustion. The counselors that were with her group reacted quickly and efficiently. Mrs. Jen was also there with her family. She LEFT HER FAMILY!! To sit with my daughter in the hospital till I was able to get there. And she stayed until right before Aaliyah was released to make sure she was okay.
I have NEVER met anyone like her or Mrs. Carol or Ms. Megan or any of the people who work with my children closely. I couldn't imagine my life without any of them. It's more than just a daycare or a camp, it's a family and there is so much love and closeness between everyone in the building. I am rambling on now :). I just wanted to let everyone in the hire up positions know that I love COA and so do my children. I really don't know what else to say except hold on to EVERYONE in that place and they should be used as "THE PERFECT COA!" That's what they are! Perfect! Thanks again for bringing Mrs. Jen into my life! Enjoy!!!!!

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how pleased my husband and I are with Children of America! We are so happy that we chose to switch our daughter from her previous daycare provider to your daycare center. She is just thriving! She adjusted very quickly and loves it there. She looks forward to going every day and is never ready to leave. It's great to have such a secure feeling when you are leaving your child in someone else's care--especially when they are so young. We can go to work and never have to wonder how she is doing which is great. Camp WOW has also been excellent. I am really happy with the variety and for all of the things that you guys have planned for the children.
I would like to mention that the staff has been wonderful. Everyone is approachable and willing to assist or answer any question or concern a parent may have. I also appreciate the availability of Nicole as well as Tori. I feel confident that no matter what issue may arise you are both more than willing to do whatever is needed to make sure that the parents & children enrolled have all that they need to have the best experience possible.
Every opportunity that I have I give Children of America-Somerset my highest recommendation.
Sheryl Tucker – Somerset, NJ – July 2011
I would like to recognize Ms. Sonny and Ms. Misty at the Doc Stone Center in Stafford, VA for simply being the BEST of what they do. My husband and I always feel at ease when our daughter is being cared for by either one of these outstanding ladies. Both Ms. Sonny and Ms. Misty exemplify the true meaning of a topnotch and caring childcare provider. Please pass on my sincere appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis because their dedication to your mission is evident. I would recommend Children of America to anyone because your organization has a very professional, courteous, and well-trained staff.
