Children Of America Wilmington

I absolutely love COA and I always recommend it to everyone! The staff are always friendly and caring. They treat my son as one of their own. Mr. Jason is amazing, listens to the children and is always teaching respect and values with them. I'm always cheerfully greeted and any time there are any issues, Adrienne or Clara are on it and resolving. They're the best! Thank you for all you do. :)

My son has been coming to COA for about 3 months and it was very scary for my girlfriend and I being new parents but everyone at the daycare has been great. Any time our son doesn’t feel good we are called promptly and we appreciate that and all the good care!

We’ve been taking our son there for almost 3 months and we absolutely love it! It’s our first time putting our son in daycare and we are first time parents so we were so afraid and skeptical, but everyone from the director to his teachers always reassured my boyfriend and I that he was in good hands. I was always attentive to the camera which is a great thing they have. My boyfriend and I could monitor everything that our son was doing and when we did see him upset we did call to make sure he was okay & the teachers were always so welcoming to us calling at anytime to check up on him! He has learned SO much in the past 2 months and a half, and is talking a lot more! We are so thankful we can leave our son somewhere safe! Thanks to Miss Candy & Miss Trina for the good care!

Our family has been with COA (Wilmington) for over 7 years total now. When I began the search for a daycare, I had visited several other sites and they did not have what we were looking for. We needed security, dedicated teachers, and to know that our children would be well taken care of. Our search ended when we visited COA. The staff is absolutely amazing! Miss Clara and Miss Adrienne are always available to talk about any concerns we may have and work with us on a resolution. They are sure to greet you in the morning with a happy smile - and wish you a warm goodnight once the day is over. Miss Nikki and Miss Kyla always take the time to tell me about my son's day and what they are working on in the classroom. And when we leave for the day, my son HAS to give Miss Adrienne a big hug and wave goodbye to Mr. Jason. It's not just a place where my son goes during the day, it's more like a family! Thank you for everything!

I feel the need to write a review as my child and I have put some time in to Children America...to be exact October 2012 until present at BOTH locations and I have nothing negative to say. I did my research and visited several other daycare facilities and was not even impressed, some did not even make it out of my car let alone the door before I said nope, not gonna happen. Children America was not a hard decision to make upon my visit. From the moment you walk in security system peaked my interest and it was clean and surprisingly quiet, but depends on time of day you drop off or pick up because of the before care and after care for the school-aged children and them transitioning to their school bus, but still quiet enough. I must say lot of improvements have been made as far as the notification system and there now being an app "Tadpoles" to be able to get daily reports and other news and see random photos of my child. I will agree that it is expensive, but think about it, you have someone tending to your child for 8 hours give or take, you want a place that is safe and what better than having a webcam so you can randomly check on your child. It is competitively priced and if I am gonna pay X amount per month, I want to know I am getting the most for my money, I relate it to quality vs. quantity(dollars). They provide nutritional snacks/lunches and do lots of arts and craft learning as well as computer time, group time, outdoor time, etc. To address the other persons comment about 16 kids in a room and only two teachers, that is standard for the older children (potty trained, can talk and say what they want/need). Also, it comes with the territory that kids will push, kick, bite, etc, spread germs, but the very few incidents that have occurred I have been notified immediately and been given a full write-up. As far as some woman yelling and screaming, all the parents talk and the kids too and I have never witnessed or heard any such incidents occurring. If it had occurred, that employee is no longer there. Coming from the city of Philadelphia, I love my city, but this daycare is a awesome compared to many and while it may cost a bit more, you get what you pay for and I feel I am getting all that I can from a daycare and then some. I have a sense of security, reliability and my child loves it. During holiday time they have the kids put on shows/parades, make things for the parents and its rewarding to know that we as parents are included and appreciated. They even have teacher appreciation events as well, cause without them, where would we be. So I disagree with the negative comments as I have put the time in and been at both locations for 3+ years in counting. I highly recommend the facility. The staff is wonderful and caring and all around an awesome bunch of ladies and cannot forget the one gentleman teacher...he is pretty cool too! Mrs. Clara runs a tight ship and while many may underestimate her she has low tolerance for foolishness. She gives it to you straight and I appreciate at that. Sooooo hopefully when searching out daycare for your children, you will consider Children of America, it really is a nice place and will certainly send my future children there. Again this is my personal opinion and based off my own personal experiences...I cannot speak for all, but I think I speak for most.
