Northstar Early Learning Center - Onalaska

"My daughter has attended NorthStar for almost 8 months. As a first time parent with an infant, I was nervous to leave her with “strangers”. All teachers have been wonderful with her since day one. She has always appeared to like it there and never has had any issues with us dropping her off. The apps are great to have communication and to be able to see the care being provided. I continue to be impressed with the activities and crafts that they do with those as young as a couple of months old."

"This has been our first daycare experience and my husband and I are overall very satisfied. My son is happy and enjoys daycare. He seems to have made special bonds with a few of his teachers which is very sweet. The teachers have been good about communication through the app and at drop off/pick up, and the cameras are a great bonus. I know he is well cared for and the video footage reaffirms that when I see the teachers interacting with him especially if he’s having a difficult day. I also appreciate that a lot of the teachers are familiar with all of the kids, not just the ones in their own classrooms."

"I’ve been satisfied with the management and teachers at Northstar. Our son seems to enjoy his time there and his teachers seem caring and attentive. They are supportive during difficult drop offs for our daughter, who doesn’t like to be away from mom and dad. I also like that they have cameras that allow us to see our kids and a convenient app that they use to send updates throughout the day. The only negative is that there seems to be high turnover for the teachers, but that seems common and has also been our experience at all other daycares we’ve been too."

"Our daughter has been to three public daycare facilities, and Northstar has been the best by far! Our daughter loves Nothstar. She loves her teachers, they are like family to her! The fun activities, indoors and outdoors, the experiences and the knowledge she has gained throughout her 2 years have been wonderful! Our daughter does have a severe food allergy, which we have had a few issues regarding, but they were addressed immediately, and no concerns since. There seems to be a bit of staff turnover, but that's everywhere nowadays, though the teacher in my daughter's room has been there since she stared. Overall, we like Northstar and would recommend it!"

"I have had my child at Northstar for about a month now and I’ve been impressed so far. I like the app they use, although I have not used the video option yet I appreciate that it is there. My son is excited for school each day. They were very helpful in potty training, they have a large outdoor play area and even a indoor large motor area. It’s the best playground I saw in all my daycare tours. I find communication with admin is generally less compared to the other daycare we were at, however, there were 4 people working in the office at our old daycare (which was about the same size as this one). I think the director has a lot on her plate and she carries it well. Overall it’s a great place to be, my son enjoys his time there, and he is learning a lot. We love it and intend on staying for the foreseeable future."
