My daughter and I knew we would love COA when we first toured it with Ms Sandra the director. My…read moredaughter started her learning path with COA September of this year. She's a preK student. She has two great teachers by the name of Ms Amanda and Ms Angie, my daughter admires these two women so much. Learning: her teachers have broaden her knowledge on so many things from counting, problem solving, expressing herself, learning the letters in the alphabet and not just by singing them. She's learning how to tell the difference between lower case and upper case letters. Learning about her body parts and how they function. To even diving into fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Going over the roles people play in our community was another. There's much more but that's all I can think of. Events: the events they have are great and brings a huge smile to the little one's faces which just warms our heart. Child updates: I enjoy receiving daily updates and pictures of what my child is doing in preK as well! Another main reason I chose COA Security system: what COA has in place is great and is another main reason why I chose COA. Everyone that we personally have encounters with at COA has been nothing but friendly, kind, sincere, caring, compassionate, and respectful. To name a few of course her teachers Ms Amanda, Ms Angie, then there's Ms Sandra, Ms Daina, Mr Mark, the Chef and the front desk lady (sorry if I spelled anyones name wrong). There's so many others too I just unfortunately don't know everyone's names. I love how COA promotes a supportive learning environment, academics, social, emotional, physical fitness, and health development. I believe their motto is "Mind and Body Matters." Which you can see throughout their curriculum. My daughter loves going to school. I know she feels valued, respected, and safe. The kids are great too, she's made so many friends. Never not once heard anything bad about what other kids do to each other or to her. Once my youngest turns 3 I will definitely apply for her to attend preK here at COA too. Thanks COA team for making Olivia's preK journey so far extraordinary. Ps - so sorry for the rant!

The first year we were there it was fine. Ms. Charlene was the best teacher we could ever ask for…read more There were some red flags that we realized but nothing too serious until when Ms. Charlene would call off and there was a sub, all hell broke loose. I watched as she would drag the kids because she was trying to clean. But the second a parent walked in she could somehow pick them up gently? By the time my baby went to toddler B, which had no Ms. Charlene I will add, it got worse. There was a video them reading to the kids and there was a split couple of seconds where a little boy started hitting my daughter. Instead of doing anything the teacher recording chose to cut out my daughter who was getting hit and tackled while the other teacher continued reading like nothing happened. They had more slides that showed my daughter still being hit and they just ignored it. There were a couple instances where my daughter would come home with bumps, like she got hit or somrthing, on her face and when I would ask what happened all of the teachers would say they don't know what happened and they weren't in class at the time. No accountability at ALL!!! Finally for a good year I've been paying almost $300 per day after coverage by CCIS, I voiced my concerns since i was even getting charged when my daughter was absent due to getting sick. After I got approved and it was her last month in Children of America. They called me and my husband saying that they can lower the co pay to $50 and if it was too much we can even lower it to $30. Where was that when I was spending almost a grand per week? Now that I'm leaving you want to help me out? If it wasn't for Ms Charlene trust me, my daughter would be out a long time ago. The teachers for the toddler class has put me on edge, are rude to me, my husband, and my kids who pick up my daughter. They don't watch my kid at all even with me paying a $300 for co pay a day!!! I should've pay more close attention to the red flags a long time ago.

Not to mention they have home style food, which is delicious.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

She didn't just raise her voice, she creamed to scare my little one. When I rushed to the room to tell her there is no excuse to treat babies like this she started to argue with me that it's ok because my daughter could fall down even though just couple seconds before she was screaming on other baby that spilled his water. It happened in "sunshine" room where they have babies up to 18 month old. They do have a video cameras in each room, but they don't have voice recordings and I would have never known my daughter was treated so horribly. Teachers extremely unprofessional. They came from the era of Soviet Union where it was ok to scream and mistreat babies whenever they feel like it.

Regarding the bad review from Cory from three years ago: he's an idiot who obviously likes to complain if you look at his other reviews they're all one star so it seems to be a theme with him.

As new parents we were so nervous dropping our baby off but Susan and the staff made us so comfortable by calling and letting us know how he was doing the first week. The staff truly loves what they do and you can tell. They have been so cautious during COVID. Susan the owner has such a passion for taking care of all of the children in the school. Susan puts the children's health and safety first which is extremely important to my husband and I. We would not take our son anywhere else because we know that he is so well taken care of there and has advanced so much already. Thank you Susan for all of your hard work and building such a wonderful community at the Goddard School of KOP.

They send photos and videos every day to share how my daughter is doing which really brightens my day as I work. The photos and videos are of her learning with sensory objects or art projects.

They have outside time weather permitting and in the summers they do safe water play. They handled the pandemic with much grace, keeping us informed and aware of plans and have been open for several weeks now with safety measures in place. I am so happy with our choice and highly recommend this school to others!!

We have gone through 4 daycares/preschools and this is by far the best! As the previous reviewer said, our morning starts with a smile saying hello to each other. Families naturally become friends and happily help each other. My son enjoys 5 day pre-K class so much that he doesn't want to go home when I pick him up. (His only complaint is that the school isn't open on the weekend :p) He's learned reading/writing alphabets & numbers, songs, and soccer among others. Teachers are so caring and welcoming, and children learn how to be kind to each other in this warm and friendly environment. We are blessed to have such an amazing preschool in our local neighborhood, and hope many families experience what we've experienced. FYI: Tuition is very affordable, and you will be surprised by quality care you & your children receive. Communication with the school/teachers is very easy through the Brightwheel app.

Had a few different directors during that time but it was still pretty good for the most part. The last year of my employment however was mentally draining and the most miserable experience I could ever have at a job. Management doesnt know how to treat their employees and I mean ALL management especially the director and admin. I won't say too much for legal reason but this place doesn't care about their employees and they most definitely dont care about your children. Its all about the money/ enrollments. As a person who's seen, heard, and been through alot with the company I promise you this isn't the place for your child or for anyone who's looking for a job. I will give absolute praise to the few good teachers that have because if it weren't for them im sure this place would be in shambles already. I truly hope for those kids sake that something changes and hopefully soon

When we first moved to Philadelphia, our daughter was five months old and had never been cared for…read moreby anyone but my wife and I and our extended family. I was very apprehensive about putting her in daycare and I knew nothing about what to even look for in a daycare. At Growing Tree, I felt at ease right from when I walked through the door for that first visit to check the place out. The staff is incredibly friendly and each and every one of them cares a great deal about their work and approaches every day that way. My daughter grew to love it very quickly while the staff was very accommodating of my overly concerned checking in on her during the first couple of weeks. The facility is spacious and has lots of natural light, great toys, and a large outdoor space (which also has lots of nice equipment). They are also fully supportive of cloth diapering, which was great for us. The staff was very responsive any time we raised any concerns (which was very rarely) and always wanted to work with us to make things better. The prices are also incredibly reasonable considering the quality of the services provided. Finally, the daycare also puts on lots of great events and excellent programming for the children of all age groups without any added cost. My daughter is now 2 years and 4 months old and I'm devastated that we have to leave Growing Tree because we are moving to Chicago for my job. Growing Tree was one of, if not the best thing for our family about living in Philadelphia and I have no doubt that had we stayed here she would have continued there right through their pre-K program. In the time we were at Growing Tree, my daughter went from being a baby who could barely roll over to a toddler who plays in the sand and talks about everything from kitties to stoplights and the teachers and staff at Growing Tree were there for every step of the journey nurturing her development and helping us so much along the way. It's difficult to put into words how much this means to me, but it's something I will never forget. When my daughter talks about the teachers and staff at daycare there is so much love that is evident in her voice and my heart breaks that she has to say goodbye. But, I take some solace in knowing that her time here has built a foundation for the rest of her life--not just because she learned how to drink out of a cup or sit in a circle, but because she also learned how to have a friend, how to treat people with respect and kindness, and what it means to be a part of a community. Especially now, the world can be a really horrifying place but every now and then you come across people who make you feel good about humanity and I felt that way every time I dropped my child off or picked her up at Growing Tree. The people there have changed my daughter's and our lives for the better and she is just one of hundreds of children who will get to benefit from being in such a nurturing environment thanks to their selfless efforts.
