"Old building with poor efficiency AC unit! Always extremely warm upon entering building and especially in infant room! I feel bad leaving my infant in such a hot room. Excellent teachers and care."
"We love our teachers, they seem genuinely invested in our child’s daily experiences and growth and development. I like knowing he is stimulated throughout the day and is never bored!"
"We absolutely love La Petite’s teachers, leadership, diversity, and education curriculum. We had been at another school with our son and we didn’t know what we were missing until we came to LPA. So glad we made the switch. His teachers love on him every day, keep us informed of his activities and fun, and we can see his whole day in the app. Our son will be here for a very long time. Couldn’t ask for a better school!"
"I love the Brightwheel app. It helps me lower anxiety of knowing how Izzie is doing. I was always texting my old childcare provider. I know she's in safe hands with how they stress safety and education. They are a fantastic. If I could give them a million stars, I would!"
"The best experience! The staff and teachers are like family. My daughter has grown and learned so much while at LaPetite Springfield. I'm sad thinking about my daughter starting public school in the fall because I always felt she was in great hands at this school. She loves going to school here. Everything day consists of fun learning experiences. They always are involving families and doing what is best for kids."
"Love the school. Not a fan of the dress code for pre-schoolers, feel that’s a little unnecessary."
"La Petite Springfield has been amazing, both for the development of our child and their caring nature. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend La Petite to others. The director, Pam Mayfield, truly cares about the children. The teacher are also caring and positive."
"Eating habits,SEAM focus more and teach more on letters identification and word formation"
"The atmosphere is friendly and the staff seem to genuinely care for my child!"
"Love this place, everyone is loving and polite. We love Ms. Pam and Ms. Shameka."
"We love the fun activities and after school events La Petite organizes. They really care about children and work very hard. We truely appreciate everything they do for our kids"
"Very organized, bad parking, friendly staff and not much turnover - a huge plus"
"We like our child's teachers and we love the curriculum. The school offers a lot of activities and programs which could potentially be taxing on teachers. We don't want overworked, tired teachers because that can result in poor care for children. We also want to ensure the directors focus on providing regular feedback and accountability to teachers. During drop off there appears to never be a director present and on at least three occasions I've heard yelling at students, not in my child's class. Before the Thanksgiving program, as parents were lining up, one of the teachers was openingly yelling at students to stop certain behaviors. I don't think yelling should ever be a first resort in a childcare center. Yelling is concerning to us."
"The whole program, staff, food, milestones and reliable correspondence has given us a smooth transition into parenthood. My husband and I couldn't parent them. it's so helpful to have partners in care. Miss Pam , Miss Christine, the whole team - They're not babysitters, they are truly early childhood education professionals."
"Amazing ! I always know my daughter is safe , loved and having fun while learning too !"
