Testimonials

We Are Proud of What PediaTrust
Means to Our Parents and Children

When a doctor mentioned to us that there was a medical daycare in the Lake Charles area called PediaTrust that we could have him enrolled, we immediately felt the stress come off… Knowing our baby was going to be taken care of by a knowledgeable caring staff of nurses and providers made our transition home much more manageable. They provided transportation for both pick up and drop off. PediaTrust is more than your typical daycare. They have in-house therapies and schooling alike… There is comfort knowing as parents we can still continue working our jobs and maintain our daily living while our baby is taken care of.

Pediatrust has been a true blessing for our family…. I don’t have to worry about the quality of care that she receives. It’s a blessing to have this center for her and us so that we can continue working, knowing that she’s in the best hands.
The first day our child attended Pediatrust “was the day that our prayers were answered. Since then, our daughter has made major strides physically, mentally, and emotionally. She is excited to go to her ‘school,’ and she LOVES the staff and kids. Watching her meet these goals gives us hope for a brighter future as a Little Person.”

We are “completely satisfied with the care that they provide for my child. They do an excellent job, are knowledgeable, and very helpful. They have been very supportive in all the growth developments with my child. My daughter has developed so much since she has started at Pediatrust. The staff is amazing! They are friendly and professional.”

Everyone loves him and he fits right in…. The entire staff has always taken such amazing care of him…. When he first started, he didn’t speak or really communicate. Now, he knows over 150 words and can speak short sentences. I firmly believe this is due to all his interactions with his teachers and staff…. Pediatrust allows my daughter to work for OLOL and for me to work at a law firm. We both go to work every day knowing he is being cared for. We couldn’t be more thankful that this place exists for children like him and countless others.

Trying to juggle everything” with a special needs child “was enough to break a person. Finding adequate help was such a challenge. She needed care from someone who loved her and we could trust that was also skilled in her medical, physical, and emotional needs. When I found out about Pediatrust it was God answering our prayers. There aren’t enough words to describe what this place has done for us.

Pediatrust “has been a God-send for us…. Since she has started at Pediatrust, we feel that she is more expressive and interactive with the people and things around her…. An added bonus is that we have no worries with her being apart from us while she is there. We know she is in great hands with people who love and care for her just as well as we do.”

Before Pediatrust, the idea of simply attempting to work was exhausting [and] overwhelming…. Now, each day, I go to work knowing that she will be loved and receive proper care from each staff member; not only from her RN’s and aids but also from everyone in between — administration, bus driver, and therapists. Simply put, Pediatrust has exceeded my expectations. As a parent of a medically fragile kiddo, feeling a little ‘normalcy’ goes a long way and Pediatrust has provided me with that and more.

Pediatrust has always had our son in physical and speech therapies [and] have continued to promote what most would perceive as unattainable. Over the last year, he has gained almost 20 pounds, can now eat small amounts of food orally, and is saying some sounds. They continue to work daily with him on his standing and walking abilities. It is not very often I feel comfortable leaving him in someone else’s care, but with Pediatrust’s team we will be eternally grateful for all they have done for our family and all the other families they affect everyday.

Pediatrust is more than a skilled facility that takes care of my child while I work. They are family! … The encouragement and love we receive from everyone at Pediatrust made adopting a special needs child less scary. Pediatrust allowed me to say YES to God’s calling to foster and adopt when I didn’t think that was feasible for a working single mom. I am beyond thankful for our Pediatrust family!
