"Great experience overall with the care of my child at this school!"
"When my kids started here, we were new to the area and they made us feel like we’ve been here! My kids are very timid and shy at times and had issues adapting and getting comfortable at other facilities. La Petite is a place my kids actually look forward to going to every single day!! I feel absolutely comfortable leaving my kids in the care of the staff La Petite! You guys are doing an amazing job and I look forward to see what you have planned for the kids!! "
"Claudia is great! My kiddos loves her. I would like to have more communication with my child's teacher, I have not even met her. It may be due to the pandemic but It would be nice to get a quarterly video chat to meet the face of teacher taking care of my child."
"There is no consistancy with teachers and management. Rules seem to change every other week. They use my child's supplies (diapers, wipes and clothing) for other children. At least once a week, my child comes home with another brand of diapers that I did not purchase."
"better safety, less accidents would be nice; more staff to kids ratio; overall satisfied with activities and professionalism"
"Good environment and wonderful staff."
"Great, friendly staff and just overall happy to have my child attend their!"
"I love that they open at 6am, they are affordable. My children do not like it, but unfortunately they have no other options."
“We are so sorry to hear this. We work really hard to create a positive experience for our kiddos. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please call us at 800-527-3848. ”
"pricey as many are and the overturn rate"
"You need new staff members!!"
“We are so sorry to hear this. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please call us at 800-527-3848. We look forward to hearing from you.”
"Would enjoy more communication and less accidents (falling and bruising) being done by my child. Overall, this school has been a great experience as the teachers are involved in my child’s activities and knows her as an individual."
“We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please call us at 800-527-3848. ”
"I will be honest and say that I do not recommend this child care center. The word academy has no meaning to this center in particular. There is no curriculum in place. The children do not have a routine and are constantly being shuffled. If you have no other option this can be an emergency option while you find a good fit for you and your kids. The price may grab your attention but I definitely believe that it is worth to spend a bit more for your kids valued education and loving care."
“We set a high standard for ourselves, and we’re so sorry to hear this was not met in your interaction with our school. Please call us at 800-527-3848 so we can discuss this matter in more detail. ”
"My children were in an in home daycare until attending La Petite. I had some reservations about them going at first, but have been more than happy with how it has helped them. The teachers and director are always friendly and communicate with me on each child with how they are doing. This place is a great fit for my kids."
"Our overall experience has been good. I feel like my son is cared for and safe. The price is reasonable. There does seem to be a high rate of turnover by teachers though."
"My thoughts on La Petite are not great. I would HIGHLY encourage someone looking to attend school elsewhere. Its cheap, that is for sure, but you get what you pay for. School is filthy. Old nasty toys and gross bedtime cots area everywhere. Even the adult bathroom is gross. The class size varies all the time but yesterday I picked my girls up and there was 33 kids to 1 teacher. This was in the 3-4 year old class. The teacher had it under control but there is no way she can effectively teach and mentor this amount of children. On top of the disgusting facility there was also a TON of screen time there. When I dropped girls off I would see the preK class watching 1 ipad of what looked like a cartoon. This happens most mornings. At the end of the day they combine classes and watch a movie. I have picked up at different times and from about 530-630 they are normally watching a movie. I understand this preschool is cheaper than most but in no circumstances in my opinion is it ok to watch this much screen time! I pay for someone to teach and play with my kids. I could continue all day with all my complaints but here is my final advise... STAY AWAY. Besides all the negative they do have 1 really good employee and that is their director, Tamara. She was super sweet and helpful getting us settled in and always addresses concerns with such empathy. Shes great! And our kids teachers could be amazing as well but they are so understaffed they just have too many children to watch after. Hope you find this review helpful!"
