And offers you a break.
COE Drop-in Care is perfect for the days—and hours—when you need a quick, professional, and fun place for your child.
This is by far one of the worst day cares. Kids always coming home with scratches and marks and bruises, they don’t take care of people’s children. Wouldn’t recommend if I had no options left. On top of that the director and her daughter are very rude and one of them even criticized a special needs child.
It’s amazing! My 2 year old brother loves it, and always talks about his teachers lol!
My 15 month old son loves Center of Excellence. After his first visit he did not want to leave, lol. The staff is amazing!! Very attentive. As a first time mom I was very skeptical about placing my son at a daycare facility. Center of Excellence took all of my skepticism away. If you are looking for a great daycare facility I highly recommend Center of Excellence.
Bu far one of the best schools in the area, its easy to see what separates good schools from great schools. I'm positive that the center of exellence will be a wonderful addition to my family's village! Five stars!!
This has been a really great child care experience thus far. I must say I've never felt more at ease with child care. The times of service and the care provided is excellent. It allows the parents to be able to have child care for any shift I am very pleased, so glad center of excellence opened. If you need child care please look here first you will be happy you did.
Maybe you need to run errands.
Maybe you just need a nap!
You know those folks who have Grandma always available?
Ready to babysit on a moment’s notice?
Well, we don’t know any either!
That’s why we started drop-in care. To offer parents someone to help them out when they need it most.
Drop off your child when that impromptu meeting gets scheduled, when you have an appointment, when the babysitter cancels for your once-a-month date night, or for when you get called to cover that shift.
Think of us as your cool Grandma that you actually CAN call any time.
