Children Of America Wilmington

This location is the WORST. I transferred my child from the Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia location and I loved that place. I came in expecting to get (at minimum) a similar experience. I was very wrong. My child was here for 3 months and I had to get her out of there. Although they claim to have similar curriculums at all COA’s. I can tell you, they do not. The class was nowhere near up to par with the class my daughter had been in at the Philadelphia location. My child is advanced and was at a 3^rd grade reading level at the age of 4 and I understand that most children would not be on that level. But Philadelphia fostered that. Most of the kids in her old class were reading and writing and were learning Spanish. This Wilmington location had her in a class where she was doing remedial work. She was not writing at all. In conjunction with the sub-​par education, in the 3 months I was there, billing errors occurred countless times. Out of the 12 weeks, I can only count on one hand the number of weeks where the billing was actually correct. I had to watch my bills like a hawk. Ms. Clara was the worst. She took forever to get issues corrected, had errors on who was responsible for my account, and did not get my front door code working for weeks. She had sarcastic comments that had nothing to do with her getting things fixed. Maybe if she focused on her work more, she could have gotten things done. The co-​director, I cannot remember her name, she had her issues as well. There was one point when she gave me information and a few days later I brought it up to her and she snapped back with «who told you that?» I said, «you did.» She responded with a simple «oh.» The school was suspended from the Delaware Stars program for failure to comply and had some issues that were reported by the Delaware Stars program regarding how they handled the children (leaving a child alone) and they said nothing. They still had the Delaware Stars program sign in the lobby. They weren’t in the program anymore! I had to get my child out of there ASAP after reading the Delaware Stars reports. To top things off, on my child’s last day, a staff member had the nerve to tell me they question my child as to why she was leaving. She was honest and told them she was not getting a good education. But who questions a child about stuff like that!!! I could go on and on. I’ll just end it with GOOD RIDDENS.
