Children Of America Maineville

"We had to make the excruciating decision to remove our kids from this facility due to multiple 10% rate increases throughout the year. I think the directors here have done a phenomenal job with what they have to work with, but it’s clear that there is a disconnect between corporate or whoever is the true “owner”. You cannot reach anyone above the director level or at the corporate office. The website clearly states to take any issues up with the directors at the school. So these ladies have to deal with delivering the biannual news of rate increases and I’m sure plenty of backlash from the families, while some mystery person is hiding out pulling the puppet strings behind the curtain. Maybe this review will reach them: your business model is failing. Perhaps if you showed your face, talked with the families and show you care about the students and the families lining your pockets, we could’ve stayed. Face time goes a long way. A reason or an explanation can go a long way. But charging the cost equivalent of an out of state, lucrative college education for two kids under 5 in the state of Ohio, and hiding behind your messengers at the schools is wrong. Parents rely on rates going down as a child ages. Over 2 years, my almost 5 year old had gone up around $70.00 per week, with another 10% increase poised to come in January. That’s still with a discount on an infant we added earlier this year. As two working parents who are planning to need the before school, after school and summer care for the next 9 years, we could not fathom what these rates would be like in the future. It started to feel like that any time there might be some relief, you’re going to “get” us another way. And simply having your hard, caring workers who actually run your school deliver that message, over and over again, with their hands tied, is a dirty business practice that we will not support. We will miss the dedication of your directors at this school as well as the caretakers in the Infant A room who developed an incredible bond with our infant. We suggest you start looking out for these people who are the face of your school, and stepping in and up as a business owner and leader. It could’ve made a difference in our decision."

"The teachers are absolutely amazing. They are understanding and all about the children. They care. My kids come home everyday happy and can't wait to go back and see their friends and teachers. They go above and beyond to make sure your kids are taken care of. Id recommended them to anyone"

"This is my children's second time attending COA and they have absolutely loved it both times. We moved the first time and were extremely sad to leave. After coming back almost 5 years later they still remembered and were excited to see my littles so grown up. It was like bringing them back to family. Every day that I bring them there I leave confident knowing that my children will be greatly taken care of. Today was my babies first day back to school and he had to get picked up by COA and I was so worried he wouldn't know what to do. He just turned 6 less than a month ago. I called to make sure he was picked up by them and was safely brought back to the center. it was Tonya who answered and made me feel at such ease. She let me know that no teacher who was there to pick him up would ever leave the school without having him unless they were told otherwise by me that he wouldn't be there to be picked up. That made me feel so much comfort knowing that i know they will always lookout for him. THANK YOU! I love you guys and all you do! I couldn't ask for a better place for my little guys to go to when I'm not able to be with them."

"Ms. Melissa and Ms. Lindsay are absolutely wonderful! My daughter started at 8 weeks, and I struggled a lot with it. They did everything they could to make me feel confident about leaving her every day. They have really become a part of our family, and it is incredibly obvious how much they love the babies they care for. My daughter adores them, and their classroom really is her home away from home! Management is always very considerate and thorough in communicating with my family as well. Keep up the great work!"

"My son has been enrolled at COA Maineville for the past 3 months and it has been a great experience. My son's schedule was anything but normal leading up to Kindergarten. For the past two years my son has spent 4 months with me in Ohio then 4 months with his mom in Hawaii. Being in Ohio full time and starting kindergarten has been an adjustment for him. The teachers and directors have gone above and beyond for my son since he has been with them before and after school. I have no doubt that the care and attention he receives at COA has helped with his transition. He loves to get to school early and always talks about how much fun he has while he is there during the day."
