Founded in 1998, COA has remained steadfast in its mission to: Provide educational childcare solutions to working families through quality programming, flexibility, convenience, and value for the communities we serve.

“Our entire organization is committed to providing a consistent brand experience across the board, enriching the health, well-being and education for all the children in our care – we expect this school to deliver similar commitments,” says CEO Ted Hockenberry. “At the helm, as the COA Director, we have Dominique Beltman, M.Ed., a Florida transplant with 10 years in educational childcare, ensuring an engaging environment and trained the COA way.”

Children of America also brings its one-of-a-kind educational philosophy, COA Mind & Body Matters. Mind & Body Matters approaches early learning through COA’s four proprietary programs: COA Just Read, Presidential Fitness, COA Nutrition, STAR Curriculum (Success Through Academic Readiness), and many enrichment programs that have proven to dramatically impact the lives of young children. Children of America’s educational curriculum is a product of years of research and development in early childcare.

  • The COA approach to Social – Emotional Growth Allows children to engage in social experiences through play, group activities, and partnering with other children as they pretend, discover, and investigate their learning environment.
  • Intellectual Growth at COA offers experiences that encourage problem solving, decision making, and challenges through activities that promote emerging literacy.
  • We promote Physical Growth through a variety of activities: strengthening and refining of the body through eye/hand coordination, eye tracking, coordination of movements, spatial relationships, and crossing the midline, which leads to emerging reading and writing skills.

Underscores Urgent Call for Awareness & Action

Leave a comment


This may well be a tipping point. Recent indications are:

  • Skyrocketing AED deployment
  • A dramatic increase in federal and state legislative initiatives calling for CPR/AED education and placement of AEDs in schools, sports venues, workplaces, and other community settings
  • A notable shift in nomenclature used by media that correctly refers to “Sudden Cardiac Arrest” vs. “heart attack” in describing the life-threatening condition.

“The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation is proud to have contributed to these positive changes,” said Mary M. Newman, MS, president. “The Foundation has worked tirelessly for years to increase awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, help save lives, and support those affected by SCA.”

The Foundation’s focus for this October’s Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness month include:

  • Continued efforts to drive worldwide awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the steps necessary for survival through its website, social media, and the Call-Push-Shock movement
  • Improved education, action, and resources for vulnerable and underserved communities
  • Advancing the Cardiac Arrest Survivor Alliance, an online community for people affected by cardiac arrest that has attracted more than a thousand members from more than 20 countries so far this year. The initiative is led by experts including physicians, psychologists, survivors and co-survivors. Its goals are to provide evidence-based information, facilitate peer and professional support, and address an unmet need for people personally affected by SCA in their survivorship journeys.
  • Programs to recognize lay rescuers
  • Significant research support, working in collaboration with universities and academic hospitals
  • Advocacy support, including promotion of the federal Access to AEDs Act and promotion of state legislation working in collaboration with the Smart Heart Sports Coalition, led by the NFL.

“For the first time in a long time, we are encouraged that awareness about Sudden Cardiac Arrest is gaining traction,” said survivor Henry Jampel, MD, MHS, Chair of the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation Board of Directors. “With greater awareness, education, and access to AEDs, we will save many more lives.”

About Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation

Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation is a national community benefit 501(c)(3) organization. Our vision is to eliminate preventable death and disability from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and support people affected by SCA. Our mission is to raise awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and promote initiatives that help save lives through education, research, and community. We are proud co-sponsors of the Call-Push-Shock movement and home of the Cardiac Arrest Survivor Alliance, an online community for survivors and loved ones.

Paso Robles dentist shares the top most important questions to ask your dentist

Leave a comment


Even when a dentist gives each patient a thorough report after each exam or procedure, many patients still have questions in the back of their minds that they hesitate to ask. Going to the dentist can be intimidating for some people and it can be challenging to know what to ask. Here are the top questions the Paso Robles dentist recommends patients ask:

  • How can I improve my oral health? Asking how to improve your oral health is crucial because it shows a commitment to health and wellbeing. During the discussion that follows the question a patient might reveal some concerns about a busy schedule and not flossing enough, or wonder about keeping a toothbrush at work to brush after lunch.
  • Are there any signs of gum disease or tooth decay? Even though the patient just received an excellent report, there may be lingering questions about the possibility of future cavities or gum disease. The dentist may recommend changes to oral hygiene habits, or more frequent exams to ease these concerns.
  • How often should I get a check-up? Regular check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. The dentist will make a recommendation about how often you should come in for a check-up based on your individual needs. For most people, a check-up every six months is sufficient.
  • What should I do if I have a dental emergency? Knowing what to do in a dental emergency can save a lot of pain and discomfort. Ask about what to do if there is pain after a procedure, or perhaps a broken tooth. The dentist can make recommendations for managing the situation and the pain.
  • How can I prevent bad breath? Bad breath can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Your dentist may recommend mouthwash or cleaning your tongue regularly. They may also be able to identify any underlying issues that could be contributing to bad breath.
  • How can I whiten my teeth? Not everyone has sparkling white teeth and your dentist can make the recommendations that are appropriate for you.
  • Are there any foods or drinks I should avoid? Certain foods and drinks can damage teeth and gums. Most snacks and drinks in moderation are not going to cause harm when the patient has good oral health practices. But it’s always a good idea to know which treats to watch out for.
  • How can I protect my teeth during sports? Being active and athletic is good for our health, and so is taking care of our teeth. Your dentist can recommend a good mouth guard, or perhaps a custom-fitted guard.
  • What should I do if I have dental anxiety? Dental anxiety is very common and it’s not always associated with pain. Sometimes busy patients postpone dental appointments because “there’s just no time.” Some are quite comfortable with a routine exam, but the thought of certain procedures causes anxiety. Asking about anxiety (or impatience) gives the dentist the opportunity to recommend ways to manage it such as relaxation techniques or sedation dentistry.

“We dentists want our patients to have the best oral health possible,” says the Paso Robles dentist “and, asking questions helps us know more about our patients and how we can best serve them.”

Sometimes it helps to write questions down before an appointment to make sure to ask them. Another choice is to make a consultation appointment that focuses on your questions. Dr. Davis’ staff is also available to assist if a question comes up after you have left her office.

Dr. Lisa Lu Davis’ services include general dentistry such as dental cleaning, fillings, and teeth whitening and advanced dental procedures including implant restorations, dental veneers, dentures, crown and bridges, root canals and creating healthy smiles. Every examination, cleaning and procedure is performed with the most conscientious and modern procedures for patient comfort and continuing dental health.

Since attaining her Dental Medicine Doctorate in 1999 from Temple University in Pennsylvania, building partnerships with every patient has been a foundation of her practice. Dr. Davis has continued to add knowledge and credentials for latest and most effective diagnosis and dental procedures and technologies.
