"Love the teachers and director. Happy to have our children in this environment. Staff care greatly about their jobs and the kids."

"Overall, our experience hs been ok. A couple of our concerns include:1. Lack of teacher/parent communication - we've had to rely on Zoe to communicate recent events at school. i.e. falls/injuties.2. Several bullying incidents with the other preschool kids3. Lack of formal parent-teacher conference/feedback on child's progress.4. Preschool teachers are not very experienced/mature it seems to handle all the kids. Things often don't get caught or addressed.5. Cleanliness - Zoe has gotten sick more times than I can count compared to her old daycare. I'm not sure how the cleaning/hygiene is handled but it can be improved upon."

"I have had a generally good experience with this school. Some teachers are better than others but for the most part, they have been caring and the kids love them. One thing I think needs to be improved is communication with parents regarding children's behavior and class shifts. More than twice my children have moved classes during the day and I have not been alerted. While I know they are safe, I generally feel like I have to ask a ton of questions to find out why and where and for how long they moved. Developing a progression plan with parents could solve this issue so that we are prepared to help our children navigate the changes. Additionally, the financial changes related to moving classrooms is not clear and requires specifically asking for information. I regards to behavior-I have asked teachers to work with me for particular issues so that we can handle things as a team and I have never gotten support for that. I have good kids but every child needs coaching for development."

"Great management and very friendly staff. The center has a great atmosphere."

"Amazing, really love them, would love it more if the teachers stayed longer and didn't have a turn around."

"The attitude and sincerity of the director towards the classroom teachers and students did not come across as one of friendliness nor compassion. The director gave the impression that she was not well connected with the education of the children (other schools' directors knew the names of all of the children present and interacted with them on a personal level) nor was she on friendly terms with her teachers.We ultimately chose a center that provided a warm and welcoming environment for both parents, students, and the teachers."

"Teachers are excellent. They really care my child."

"I love my daughter’s teachers and other kids in her classroom. Teachers are always welcoming and greet the kids with enthusiasm. I love that every now and then we get a photo or report of something our child did new in the classroom. It makes me feel teachers pay attention and encourage learning new skills in the classroom which is very important go us."

"It has a LOT of room for improvement."

"I am so impressed with this school! They absolutely love my daughter and that’s the best thing I could ask for. Besides that, they potty train, provide breakfast, lunch & snacks, have the kiddos make a craft daily, encourage them to play & move their bodies, and teach them how to be a part of a group!"

"The baby room was amazing, the toddler room was terrible. The school brought a toddler into the baby room, didn't watch the toddler properly and that toddler bit my baby that wasn't able to move or defend itself. As far as training goes, when a child falls and hits their head, I wasn't notified. I eneded up taking my child to the ER to confirm they were ok. For head injuries, the parent should always be called. The school needs to work on hiring better teachers, training them, hiring teachers that engage with the children, read books to the children, and the school really needs to work on the food quality. I know 3 parents that are looking for a new daycare."

"We transferred our daughter to this location from Mukilteo due to the convenience of location. Thus far, our experience and interaction with the teachers has been mediocre. The teachers at the other school were extremely friendly, engaging, and always talked about my daughter's day. ALWAYS. Unfortunately, this isn't the case here. When I walk in, they just sort of look at you and quickly gather your belongings and say bye or have a good night. They don't spend the time to tell you how they did or what they did. I don't get photos, not that I need them daily or even weekly, but it would be nice to get a photo of my baby during the day. That's what we were told would be done when we initially visited this facility. The director is never there, the teachers don't say much, so it feels as though if I ever had an issue to discuss or had a request, I wouldn't know who I could go to. Just feels so impersonal when I walk in - especially when I'm leaving my daughter's care in their hands."

"La Petite Academy needs to stop gouging parents every time they turn around. La Petite Academy needs to hire directors that can respond to a reasonable inquiry in a more acceptable time frame."

"I had high hopes, but as time went on, the staff became less engaged and the quality dropped significantly. Very few teachers have maintained any level of professionalism and it became a huge waste of money."

"As I mentioned, I really like her teachers, Jason and Meena, and I'm happy that she's forming bonds with her classmates, but I just wish the front desk was a little better manned. It's gotten a lot better now than it was a year ago, but there are many times when I've gone to pick up my daughter and there is no one at the front desk. I understand staff constraints, but it doesn't make me feel as safe, knowing that there's no one watching the front door. I also feel that there is often a lack of communication. For instance, twice now my daughter hasn't been in the school picture and I'm never told why. I guess she wasn't there on the day they took it? But maybe someone should have informed me of that. The last time it was picture day, I was told (on a day she was there) that the school picture was happening that day, but then when I ordered the school photo, the photo company claimed there wasn't one. So I have no idea what happened there. I should add though, that I love the BrightWheel app and getting pictures of and news about my daughter throughout the day"
