COS Kids 226 West John Street, Matthews, NC 28105

"My child has not started there yet but im so glad i found this place Sonja Payne has been nothing but help we are currently on the waitlist I cant wait for my son to get in.I know this will be a great place just because my child isn't even apart of the family yet and they are already going out of there way to find resources to help my situation as well as other alternatives if I needed them. This is true, real, and caring characteristics i'm looking for in a daycare as well as the people who work there."

"We love COS! Our son attends afterschool here and we liked it so much in his kindergarten year that we waitlisted our then 3 year old daughter for a spot in the 3s class. As soon as she got in, we moved her from another childcare facility in the area, and the difference has been amazing. The teacher turnover is much lower, the staff and teachers are loving and invested in the kids, and our kids literally count down the days on the weekends until they can return to COS. Right now, the director, staff, and teachers are going above and beyond to be open safely for families during the pandemic - and to assist families who need support during this time. I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful COS has been for us. They are a true gem in the Matthews community!"

"Wonderful center and amazing staff! We took our children out of the Goddard school in Ballantyne to attend COS. Best decision we ever made. Immediately, we felt at ease with the center. Our children flourished there and we are still friends with the teachers and director. Most of the staff is still there years later. That is rare in the child care industry. Cannot say enough wonderful things about COS."

"We have two children enrolled at COS, one is a preschooler and one is an after schooler/Summer Camp! COS has exceeded my expectations for both programs. My preschooler has learned so much since starting in September and he loves going to school everyday and even ask on the weekends if he can go to school. Ms. Diane, Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Morgan are dreams come true for a working parent! They have taught him everything he needs to know before starting kindergarten this fall! They also are very kind and loving teachers and always a joy to talk with during pick up and drop offs. My after schooler, they do so many fun activities and she is always entertained and excited to tell me what she did at after school! She is signed up with tutoring at COS and Ms. Debbie has helped with her penmanship and math and reading! Very Impressed. Then the every day staff is just AWESOME! They all know both of my children by name and they are so friendly and welcoming. Ms Donna is the director and she is always very helpful and goes above and beyond! I recommend COS to anyone looking for top notch child care!"

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about COS Kids. My granddaughter has been in childcare for 3 years there and she literally wakes us up every morning to get her to "school". The staff reached out to our family during a crisis situation and offered us a partial scholarship when my husband and I took custody so that our granddaughter would have a safe and stable environment during the day. She was welcomed right away into the COS family and has been nurtured and taught in a friendly, Christian environment ever since. She is greeted every morning with hugs and smiles from the staff members and all of the teachers at the school. We are amazed at everything she has learned and also the social skills that she has developed. It has been a huge relief for our family to know that she is in competent and loving hands during the day, while having fun and learning at the same time."
