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!

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.

My high school aged daughter worked at this facility for as long as she could take it, & I was a proud dad for her sticking with it as long as she did. The employees in management at this facility are unprofessional, to be kind. I would recommend any parent who pays to bring their children to this facility or any parent considering whether or not to bring their children to this facility to please do one thing: reconsider. If you don’t take my word for it, contact Winchester CPS, which has advised parents to not bring their children to COA in Winchester. If you do bring your children to this facility, I would highly recommend using the video feed to keep an eye on what goes on. It is unlikely to remain open long because of inspection violations. I am glad my daughter is moving on to a professional workplace.

Miss Brooke and Miss Katie in the infant room have made my daughter’s transition into daycare easy. My daughter is always happy to go to “school.” She has big smiles throughout the day and when she sees her teachers. Miss Brooke is always attentive with check-ins when I message during the day.

Staff are not wearing masks. Very little teaching going on for an educational center. Teachers are paid barely minimum wage, so staff turnaround is high. So many unsafe situations happening daily.

Honestly if I had the option this place wouldn't get even 1 star. The teachers in the infant room have absolutely no patients for the small children in their class. I paid for the camera to watch my son every day and thank goodness I did. There were multiple Incidents that had occurred to not only my child but others in his class that very shocking. When I brought it up to the director she acted as if everything that had happened was fine. Please if you have your children in the infant room pay close attention and watch the cameras. The two teachers were always very frustrated and not pleasant to speak to. They couldn’t give me a daily report for my son as far as when he napped and when and what he ate. You would think this place would be top notch for the price you have to pay. I will never recommend anyone to COA and will most definitely steer them in another direction for their child quickly. I’m absolutely disgusted with this place. What a waste!

My kids love the teachers. They was never with anyone but family until COA it took some adjusting for them but the staff was amazing with helping. Mrs. Erum has went above and beyond with my baby girl! She made me feel so much better about sending her to daycare at 6 weeks old and has treated her so amazing!

My son went from being an extremely shy loner to a bright and social butterfly! I am so glad I decided to bring him here. The teachers are all really nice and they took their time working with my son. He's also better prepared to start school this fall; something I credit 100% to the center's curriculum. The center is conveniently located and there's always parking available (something you cherish if you're coming from a big city like us). It was a plus not having to prepare breakfast and lunches since the center provides these and the meals are prepared under strict guidelines. Thank you COA Winchester for a wonderful experience.

I have worked for Children of America for 5 years, I recently received the pleasure of becoming a Campus Coach, among 3 other lead teachers! I love ALL of my children at COA as if they were my own. Currently, I am a floater so I get to visit each one of the classrooms everyday! It makes for a busy day but I love teaching them, engaging with them, growing close to each and every one, and forming a trusting bond with them. I love my hard working co-workers and management team as well, I couldn't do it without them, we make a big happy family! We take lots of training courses and strive to make ourselves better everyday! If you are interested in joining our family, don't hesitate! Stop by and see us, we would love to meet you!

i love and trust them. my two kids have gone there and still do. one full time and one for no school days since he is school aged. everyone at this center has nothing but attention and love to give. they are clean, responsible, listen to your concerns. They treat us parents with respect since we are trusting our most precious possessions to them. i will recommend them anytime.

My children have been at COA almost 3 years. In that time there has been very little staff turn over which provides my kids a much more stable after school environment which is extremely important for kids especially my adhd boy. COA teachers and staff are wonderful about communicating any issues and have truly become a part of our extended family. I could not ask for a better facility Ms. Jen and her staff go are wonderful and go above and beyond for their parents and children!

I have worked for Children of America for almost 3 years. I love working for the company. I have been a teacher in every room, currently I am a Pre- K teacher. It makes my day being able to work every day and teach my group of active and fun children. I love watching them learn and get ready for kindergarten. I love working with all of my managers, they always answer questions the teachers have and they show support to help better us in the classroom. I am proud to be a COA teacher and work for this company. I have worked at other centers but this one by far is the best at appreciating employees and showing that they are focused on the children's safety and learning. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to work for this company!

I would definitely recommend the Winchester location. The office staff is always warm and welcoming. Mrs. Megan is absolutely amazing! She is so patient, loving and caring. She treats my daughter as her own. There is not a day that goes by that my daughter does not beg to go to school or to Mrs. Megan‘s house :)
