If you're reading the reviews I want to share with you, parent to parent, I've never felt more comfortable and confident in the decision I made to come to COA in Stafford. Miss Keisha, Miss Jessica & Miss Mikaela come in and have early mornings and late evenings to accommodate multitudes of parents schedules. The hours are flexible, the center is clean. I love the City Place room for the kids to play and feel like their in a safe environment. I have 3 kids in this establishment and I can't see myself leaving unless I move out of state. My sons have created bonds with their teachers, as well as my 7 month old baby. I am able to check on them daily at anytime I like with the camera access. When it comes to comfort levels, I know the management staff understands me and I can come to them with any concerns or questions. I highly recommend COA for growth, safety & a fun place for your kids to be. I also want to share that previous daycares I have not had the same streamlined service that I have here at COA. Leaving my kids here feels like leaving them with family. I have never felt burdened to drop off or pick my kids up. ADDITIONALLY, I understand everyone has their own experience, but as a woman of God, to see women of God leading this place, it warms my heart.
Children of America has been a wonderful experience for my family. The staff is kind, professional, and truly cares about the children. The environment is warm, safe, and welcoming, and it’s clear how much effort goes into supporting each child’s growth and development. I would like to praise Ms. Keisha, Ms. Jessica and Ms. Mikaela for their consistent professionalism and care over the years. Also, Ms. Mo and Ms. Brianna who have had my child in their classrooms and always have been wonderful and so caring and genuine. I am very grateful for the dedication of the entire team and highly recommend Children of America to any family looking for quality care.
We couldn’t be more pleased with Children of America in Stafford. Our two-year-old has been attending for several months, and the progress he’s made — socially, emotionally, and developmentally — is remarkable. The staff are loving, patient, and genuinely invested in every child’s success. They keep parents informed with regular updates and photos, which I really appreciate. The classroom is clean, structured, and full of fun, educational activities that keep the kids engaged throughout the day. Safety is clearly a priority, and every interaction we’ve had with the team — from drop-off to pick-up — has been positive and reassuring. We feel lucky to be part of this community!
My 2 children have been at Children of America for over 5 years, and they absolutely love the school. They look forward to going every day. When walking into the school they always look for Ms. Keshia and Ms. Jessica to give them a hug and to tell them about their days. COA has become a second home for my children. My oldest has been attending since she was 2 years old and my youngest has been attending since she was one. The care that the teachers have shown my children has meant the world to my family. Ms. Shabina helped both of my children with potty training; they both were fully potty trained before leaving her class. Ms. Pat helped both of my children gain the skills needed before heading to kindergarten. Again, we are truly thankful for the amazing staff and teachers at COA.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff at Children of America—especially Jessica, Keisha, Mykalea, and the incredible team of teachers. From day one, they have shown nothing but warmth, patience, and genuine care for every child who walks through their doors. Jessica is always welcoming, organized, and truly dedicated to creating a positive environment for families. Her communication is outstanding, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure parents feel informed and supported. Keisha brings such a calming, nurturing presence. You can tell she loves what she does, and children respond to her with trust and joy. Her kindness and professionalism shine through in every interaction. Mykalea is full of energy, creativity, and compassion. She has a natural gift for connecting with kids and making learning fun, engaging, and meaningful. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she helps create a classroom atmosphere where children feel safe, excited, and encouraged. The teachers at Children of America as a whole are exceptional. They work as a unified team, creating a warm, structured, and enriching environment. They are patient, attentive, and truly invested in the growth and happiness of every child. The love and dedication they show each day do not go unnoticed. Children of America is more than a childcare center—it’s a community. With staff members like Jessica, Keisha, Mykalea, and the amazing teachers, parents can feel confident knowing their children are in the best hands. I am incredibly grateful for everything they do!
