Children of America Glen Allen 2501 Old Brick Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060

"I'm so happy to have found a place where I feel comfortable leaving my young child, who started in the infant room and is now in the Toddler's class. C of A Glen Allen does a marvelous job of creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for their children. The facility itself is clean and open, with lots of windows in each room. Teachers keep the kids on an excellent routine, filled with things like outdoor time and reading and crafts. And staff are very good about making sure that I get regular daily updates with pictures so I can see all of the fun things my child does during the day. That, and the additional option of video feed to my child's classroom, made all the difference for me as a first time mom."

"My child has been attending daycare at this location since he was 3 months old (He just turned 2 in January). I instantly knew that Children of America Short Pump was the perfect daycare for our family during our tour. The director, Chamara McCray, is amazing. It is obvious that she cares about the best interest of the children, staff and parents. Personally, she is constantly exceeding my expectations. The staff is phenomenal. He is now in his 3rd class (the 2’s) - in each class all of his teachers have been wonderful and extremely attentive. There has never been an ounce of concern when dropping him off and picking him up. Everyone is extremely informative with updates, upcoming events and important dates. All and all I love this daycare and I have complete confidence in sending my child (my first and one and only) there on a daily basis."

"I toured numerous daycare facilities to leave my first born son at, but none of them were even remotely comparable to children Of America. From the moment you walk in, you can tell the facility truly cares about the well-being of each child. From management to teachers, all staff are friendly, upbeat, and compassionate. The school is extremely organized and the cleanest out of all I toured. Going back to work after maternity leave was the hardest thing to do but I knew my child was in more than qualified hands which gave me peace of mind."

"I absolutely LOVE Children of America! They are one of the best preschools in the area. They really focus on teaching and helping your child grow! I love how every activity is a learning experience suitable for your child's age and they get to have fun while doing it. My son has learned a lot since he started and he can't wait to tell me all about his day! The staff and management are amazing and I appreciate them everyday for all that they do!"

"Our daughter has been in this day care for about a month. We love her main teacher in the infant room (super caring and easy to talk to). She has made the transition to a day care very easy for us with tips and advice to smooth the experience and is helping us to make the transition off the bottle. The director is always available to answer questions and hear our concerns. There has been some turnover with the teachers at the center which is to be expected with a new center. What I love about the day care is that the teachers who are not up to snuff are managed effectively and there is a high amount of honesty with the parents about what the center is doing to improve. Not all centers can say that. The technology available and the facility itself is awesome. Great playground, video monitoring from mobile devices and daily reports via email with pictures. As to the other review - I have never had a problem with diaper changes or neglect at the center. The teachers are kind and give lots of cuddles and hugs when a child is upset. With any day care, kids will get sick. Not much anyone could do about that!"
