- Early literacy programs at COA have 90 percent of COA's preschoolers entering Kindergarten reading.
- Sign language programs for infants have proven to increase a child's IQ.
Queens Village is the second of eight facilities the company plans to open over the next 3 years in the area. Having built its business on developing and retaining teachers we recognize one of the unique challenges of doing business in the NYC boroughs is the cost of living. With a current minimum wage of $15 an hour Children of America is committed to addressing these challenges by offering an aggressive compensation plan for our teachers which includes; a company minimum wage of $17 an hour for Assistant Teachers and $19 an hour for state certified lead teachers. Additionally, during the first year of employment with COA, teachers receive a 50% discount for our top-rated childcare services, and after one year of continuous employment, teachers receive childcare services free of charge. The increase in starting minimum salaries and the childcare benefit puts Children of America on the competitive track with NYC public school teachers.
