I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The place is well maintained and clean. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and caring. Our child lights up every time we drop her off at this place. We feel blessed that we found this place and Artesia is lucky to have them.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I used this daycare for 7 years, and I never felt better leaving my babies here as I worked, the staff was amazing with my girls, they helped potty train my kids, helped my kids walk and learn simple things they needed to learn for school, Bethany was just amazing with my little one when she would have melt downs and always knew what to do when it happen my baby bonded so well with Bethany, Renea was always on top of helping my middle one they grew a great bond, mrs Lily was always there for me and my girls when things got tough and was very understanding with issues I had with the girls and always made sure to do what was needed for them. I wouldn’t trust anyone but the daycare to ever watch my girls, they always above and beyond to make sure everything was smooth even after we moved they have always kept in touch to make sure my girls were ok, by far the best Christian based daycare! My girls loved being there and always was happy when I’d drop them off and picked them up. Thanks Little Soliders for being so amazing when I needed to leave my babies with y’all!

I cannot say enough nice things about Lil Soldiers 4 Christ daycare. Miss Lily was a God send to our family. We have an unexpected temporary little blessing come live with us and Miss Lily stepped up without hesitation. We have seen amazing changes in our little one since she has started attending Lil Soldiers. Miss Lily and her staff are a complete blessings to our family. She always reports on how the day has gone, we are always greeted with respect and staff are so pleasant especially to our little ones. I have so much respect for Miss Lily. I highly recommend Lil Soldiers.

Lil’ Soldiers 4 Christ has been excellent for my two daughters. The owner and workers love my children as their own. My 2 year old says “yay!!!” every time I say let’s go to school! The friends and values she has gained here are priceless. My other daughter who is 5 months old had open heart surgery at 6 weeks. Let me be very specific when I say these teachers have gone above and beyond to love my daughter and give them their best. Lily, Bethany, and Kalani have truly given my momma heart such peace!! Easiest decision to trust them with my daughters!!!

I would not recommend this daycare for anyone. The people who own/operate it are horrible nasty people. They are negligent in the care of the babies and children that attend this center. There have been numerous reports of Bethany taking down to and cursing at children neglecting to give them proper care. They force your child to nap from 11:30/12:00 until 3:30 or 4:00. They are constantly leaving and are very often not in compliance with the child/teacher ratio. Liliana bashes the children and is very confrontational when or if you attempt to bring up issues or concerns especially those regarding her employees (daughters). They claim to be Christian based, however, they're very hypocritical and judgemental. This place does not deserve even one star and should be CLOSED DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
