Doylestown Daycare Abruptly Closes

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Children of America daycare facility in Doylestown abruptly closed this week, following a dispute with the landlord regarding rent.

The Ferry Road facility was unable to reach an agreement with the landlord regarding rent that accumulated over the preceding months, Desiree Bonkoski, the company's executive director in Pennsylvania, told Patch.

"Unfortunately, COVID -19’s impact on enrollment was a big contributor to being able to reach an arrangement that was satisfactory with the landlord. Each school, although operated by Children of America, is its own entity and operates as such," Bonkoski said.

The other Children of America facilities in the area remain open, she confirmed.

Families were notified Sunday evening that the facility would close at the end of the day Monday.

The business is offering impacted families two free weeks of daycare at other Children of America locations. The business said it will also work with staff members who want to transfer to another location.

There are Children of America schools in Ivyland, New Britain, Southampton, Warrington, and Warminster.
