What Parents Say
Children of the Lord Daycare in La Crosse receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from most parents, who praise the patient and genuine staff, clean facilities, and good value. However, one parent raised significant concerns about the infant classroom setup and staffing ratio, citing inadequate equipment, workspace, and organizational systems that create stress for both teachers and babies.
I don’t recommend this daycare for under-one-year-olds. The classroom is not set up for teacher success. Practical organization is lacking. For example, the colored rubber band system that the director advertised for labeling bottles is impractical and thus not followed. There was not enough counter space for the teacher to efficiently prepare bottles and/or meals. There was only one working high chair in a room for four babies (one disassembled high chair was also present, but was not set up as the director indicated it would be). There was no where for the teacher to sit as they fed a baby. This leads to the teacher awkwardly standing towering over the baby, which seemed to be intimidating especially for sensitive babies who are just learning to eat and seemed to make the teacher uncomfortable as well. I know the legal maximum is one caretaker to four babies, but 4:1 is an extremely challenging ratio for under one year olds. It’s unfortunate that the environment added another layer of challenge making for situations where basic needs of infants are easily overlooked. It seemed like the environment was stressful for both teachers and babies.
We had our daughter here for about 9 months before she departed to enter K3 at her siblings' school system. The COTL staff are patient, ever-cheerful, welcoming, and genuine. The hours are great; the facilities are clean, safe, and secure; and it is an excellent value. I would highly recommend COTL.
We love our daycare! Our daughter loves seeing her teachers everyday, and Ms. Bott and Mrs. Hunter so a great job running the program!
I love this daycare!! I’ve been working here for two years! One place you can trust for your children to be safe and well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend
The best daycare/preschool in town! The only place I would entrust my children to. Employees are people of integrity and consistency, they are honest, genuine, friendly and careful.
