We had the WORST experience with this daycare. I’ll give you a few examples why. For background, my son started at 8-months old and has severe food allergies (milk, soy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts).1) In the infant room, they only use 2 high chairs at a time. So when other kids were eating (which was most of the day as they fed 3 times and rotated 8 children), they would put my son in an exersauser. He would be in there for HOURS at a time, no exaggeration. One day, I totaled it and it was a total of 5 hours. He was only there for 8 hours that day. When I called to express my concern, I was told this was the only option because of his allergies... this is not healthy for any kid.2) Even with all the excersauser time, there was still an incident where he ate another kid’s cornbread (food allergies)... they failed to write an incident report for this.3) They advertise that they do sign language and take the kids outside daily. They did not do any of this when my son attended for 2 months. He didn’t go outside once.4) The classrooms were shutdown 4 different times because of covid exposure while he was there for a 2 month period. My son has been at a new daycare for 2 months now and has yet to have a shutdown.5) Because of covid, you have to hand your kid to one of the front desk ladies for them to bring them to the classrooms. You get almost no interaction from the teachers. I feel like this system is more of a covid risk to our kids as those front desk workers are exposed to the entire daycare instead of just a classroom.6) This was by far the most expensive daycare. $300/week for 5 days of care for kids under age 2. Our new daycare is $235/week for your comparison.If you have the option of choosing a different daycare, DO IT!

Children of America in Appleton is a wonderful place to work. Both the directors and staff are so very welcoming and are super supportive in everything we do. The atmosphere here is amazing — so full of positive energy. I wouldn’t want to work anywhere else!

The caregivers here never stop bending over backwards to help the parents. The director is very professional. They really care about the safety of our children in this community. Thank you COA Appleton!

My son and I have been a part of the COA family since he was a baby (he is now almost 7). The team has been a second family to my kiddo and have been nothing short of amazing to us. Although we are leaving for the school year, we fully intend to be back for Summer Camp.The team along with their center director, Megan, have always treated us with such care and grace over the years. The facility is always clean and well put together. The curriculum is outstanding and I always feel like my kiddo is learning and growing while in the care of his teachers. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in need of center care :)

This center is a great place to work. It is very welcoming and the staff is amazing. The teachers are always super engaged with the kids, especially in the PreK A room. I see Angela and Brenda doing fun activities all the time and the kids look like they're having a blast.

COA has been so flexible with my childcare needs during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a nurse, they have made it possible for me to pick up extra shifts to help the hospital (i.e. patients). These times have been tough and crazy but COA has been an absolute blessing. The center director, Megan, responds very quickly to emails and is always so nice/understanding. Plus, my kid always has fun there!

There is no better feeling then dropping your child off at a place where you know he is taken care of and truly cared for. The staff at Children of America are caring and loving towards my son and I couldn't have made a better decision on bringing him here!!

The two ladies in charge don’t miss a beat. In fact they seem to go out of their way and above and beyond to make sure their kids and families are well taken care of and a quick at responding with concerns and questions.Keep up the great work ladies and don’t forget to take care of yourselves like you do us families!!!

My boys have both attended here since 12 weeks old. The teachers are awesome and put their hearts into caring for the little ones.The management works closely with each family and work hard to make sure family requests are met. My boys loved attending here and growing into each classroom. They just held Thanksgiving feast and it was very nicely done!

Our grandson attends Children of America Appleton on a part time basis. The center director and staff are amazing. We have felt comfortable and welcome since the first day. They are always available to answer any questions we have. We are so very pleased with the care given to our grandson while he is at Children of America. The teachers give all the students individual attention. It’s nice to know that I can log in and view his classroom at anytime of the day via live camera feed. The staff uploads and sends us photos throughout the day via Tadpole. If our grandson can’t be with us during the day, Children of America Appleton is the next best option.

In the short time our daughter has been here there is a noticeable difference in the way she speaks and learns! It is so comforting to walk into daycare knowing she will be well cared for, and safe. Every single employee I have encountered here is warm and welcoming and reinforces our decision to take her to COA.

I just started working at COA and I am so impressed by everything they do. Coming from a background in education this center goes above and beyond every day! Liz and Megan truly treat every employee and child like family. Every staff member works hard to make sure all children learn and thrive on a daily basis. If I had children they would be my first choice in childcare!

This school offers so much more than childcare. The daily routine and curriculum are perfect from Infant to preschool to school age. So much learning! Security features are second to none. Best value for the money after comparing other programs in the area!
