Children of America Smithtown

COA Smithtown is the best. I love how everyone is part of a team. Every time I visit I feel welcomed. My eyes are always stuck to the walls filled with beautiful art, which shows children are active educationally. Great things going on here! :)

My husband and I were really impressed with the educational component of this school. It was important to us that our son not just socialize and play but that his teachers prepare him for Kindergarten. He has learned so much! We like that his teachers interact with him when he is doing work time. Yesterday he came home and told us that Ms. Michelle played with him in block center. He said that when he grows up he wants to be an engineer who builds homes for people. My husband and I looked at each other, we couldn't believe he knew what an engineer was! We love that they have made learning fun for him.

We are so blessed to have found a place filled with wonderful caring people to leave our child with. Our daughter loves her teachers and friends and always speaks of the fun she has. Thank you all so much for all that you do! We are forever grateful

My girls love going to COA every day. All of the staff treat the children as if they were their own. It is very comforting to know my kids are being cared for in a loving way. They also learn so much. My three year old uses words I didn't know she even knew and in the right context! She always asks about going to school on the weekends and about her friends and teachers. It's great environment for learning and growing and piece of mind for me that my girls are in great care.

I thought this daycare was the best thing in the world especially with the cameras and being able to check in on my baby when I needed to, until I went to pick up my daughter and realized she was given nothing to drink the whole 8+ hours she was there and the staff lied to me. My daughter was sent to daycare with all of her bottles that I filled with juice at home, when I went to pick her up I was given the bottles back with the same amount of juice that I put in them at home. I was told she refused all her bottles BUT i was not notified of this at all... no heads up phone call, meanwhile they had called me for every other little thing in the past. As mentioned before the cameras are great. They are an extra fee but if you ask to have the cameras rewound you’re told “it’s only live feed”...... (I asked to see the cameras of my daughter refusing her bottles to give the benefit of the doubt and it couldn’t be done) soooo if something happens and you need clarity theres literally NO PROOF or no way to really know whats going on unless you’re glued to the cameras all day. Needless to say my daughter no longer attends and all parents should be very cautious about leaving their kids not only here but anywhere!!
