What Parents Say
Parents consistently praise Children of America Winchester for its strong leadership, particularly director Amanda, and caring staff who go above and beyond in supporting children's development and families' needs. The center is noted for engaging activities, excellent communication, clean facilities, and creating a welcoming community atmosphere where children thrive emotionally and socially.
My child has been at COA for almost 3 years now, and I’ve seen a number of directors. The difference in leadership under Amanda has been very noticeable. She is organized, approachable, and truly invested in both the children and the families. The center runs smoothly, communication is consistent, and any concerns are handled quickly and thoughtfully. The activities are engaging, the staff seem supported and motivated, and there’s a strong sense of structure and care throughout the center. Winchester COA feels like a reliable, welcoming place where children are encouraged to grow and parents can feel confident leaving their kids each day.
My children have been enrolled at COA since they were just 6 months old (they’re now 3), and in that time I’ve experienced three different center directors. Without question, Amanda is the best director this center has ever had. She brings an energy and professionalism that completely elevates the experience for both families and staff. Under her leadership, COA offers an incredible variety of thoughtfully planned activities that keep the children engaged and excited to learn. I especially appreciate that she encourages parent involvement — it makes us feel like true partners in our children’s growth. Any issues are handled promptly and with care, and you can genuinely feel the difference in teacher morale; the staff seem happier, more motivated, and more connected with the kids. The Jubal Early COA has become more than just a childcare center — it feels like a community. Amanda’s management style fosters trust, communication, and joy, and I can honestly say this is the best place to bring your children. If you’re looking for a center where your kids will thrive and you’ll feel supported every step of the way, COA on Jubal Early is unmatched.
They came through when the family was dealing with separation. Assisting with the child's emotional experience in dealing with the parental change. Openingly helping the family with suggestions, communication and additional paperwork. We thank you for going above and beyond.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about COA of Winchester and the exceptional teachers and administrators who care for my child. From the very first day (2 years ago), we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our little one was in the best hands possible. The teachers are not only highly professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely kind, compassionate, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. They go above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. The curriculum is both engaging and developmentally appropriate, fostering creativity, curiosity, and social skills. I’ve seen my child grow in so many ways—learning new concepts, gaining independence, and forming meaningful friendships. It’s evident that the teachers truly care about the children’s well-being, often providing personalized updates and insights into their progress, which we deeply appreciate. The facility itself is spotless, organized, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of opportunities for active play and quiet moments. We’re grateful for the peace of mind that comes with knowing our child is receiving such high-quality care every day. I wholeheartedly recommend Children of America Winchester to any family looking for a nurturing, enriching environment for their child.
Tammy has gone above and beyond for every child including mine. Normally you see the higher up staff at places sitting around in their office while everyone else is doing all the work but that's not the case here. She is in classrooms 90 percent of the time I walk in to the school attending to children.. the first time I ever picked up my son from there when she started I was shocked. She was on the ground with the kids. Those kids were laughing and playing around with her. That was the day I knew I picked the right school for my son. Thank you Tammy for caring for our kiddos!! Crystal and Amanda are also amazing!!!! It doesn't matter what kind of day they are having... They do not show the kids. I come in some mornings and see Amanda in the classroom playing with the kids. As for Crystal she is always making sure everyone is taken care of and the kids are happy. That's what all schools need. More administration that care:) My son loves it here!! Thank you Tammy, Crystal, and Amanda!
