"I absolutely love La Petite Carmel Mountain. The entire staff makes my family feel welcome, cared about and loved. I feel like the staff is an extension of my own family and I know they truly care about the well being of my child. The curriculum is fantastic, creative and challenging for my daughter. It has prepared my older daughter extremely well for Kindergarten and I know it’s preparing my current pre-schooler for success too. I cant imagine a better place to which to send my children."
"The La Petite in Carmel Mountain Road, San Diego is an outstanding school. The teachers, the director, the cook, the facility--everything is above and beyond expectations.My granddaughter has literally been nurtured and has been given the best education and the best opportunity for social development by all the staff members. Our family always feels welcomed by all the teachers and the director. Every teacher my granddaughter has had--Ms. anna, Ms. Marjan, Ms. heather and now Ms. Barbara are all kind, caring, compassionate role models for my granddaughter. the director Chrissy Schraff and Assistant director Christen Cobb set a positive tone. Every person mentioned and al other staff members are very sincere and professional. We consider the staff at this location to be our extended family. I rate them an A+ and give them 5 stars."
"Teachers are caring and get to know the kids well."
"The teachers have done an amazing job learning what my sons needs are and making him as comfortable as possible. When I talk with the teachers, it's obvious they enjoy having him in their class and really know his personality and what he likes. He learns a lot and it's been a great for our whole family."
"Overall positive. We love our primary teachers. It would however be nice to get to know the part time/subs that we see on occasion better."
"We LOVE this school!! Chrissie is the best Director ever!"
"Excellent care and attention to my child and our family"
"Great - love every teacher and especially our director, Chrissie! We realize they may do professional development on weekends but really appreciate keeping regular hours to care for our kids!"
"Overall we really like La Petite and the teachers have been great and very engaging. I enjoy the outside vendors that come in to provide more options for learning and athletics as well as the family activities. My main critique is around responsiveness to email communications as I tend to send questions and do not receive a response until I bring it up in person a day or so late. The administrative staff will acknowledge receiving the email at that point and give an answer in passing."
"We have been not very happy with our experience. There are so many times when I have seen kids crying and teacher pays no attention to that. I have seen kids with runny nose and teacher wouldn’t wipe it. I have seen teachers on phone when kids are playing outdoors."
"Poor communication. State has been at the school 3 times in the last 12 months for issues with the same teacher yet tuition keeps increasing “to ensure the best teachers”"
"We love this school and will stay but the constant raises in the cost are very frustrating. If the first time I came in I received a quote for what we are paying, I doubt we would have gone here. $20 a week raise may not sound like much, but that is over $1000 more per year! AND we have 2 kids there so when both of their costs go us, it is really hard on us. I understand needing to raise costs but it is an extreme hardship over the years. If we were not so in love with the wonderful teachers, we may have moved long ago. The only thing is I don't mind paying a little more if the teachers are getting raises because they VERY MUCH deserve them! They are amazing!"
"La Petite has been wonderful for our children! The teachers and all very engaging and show a true dedication to our children. Our kids have learned so much and made great friends. It’s such a good environment for learning, playing and socializing. The facility is always clean and well maintained. Our kids absolutely love going to school here. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!"
"We love the way this school is run and all the staff. Great teachers and great director."
"Absolutely wonderful. We are so happy with the school, the teachers and the progress our kids are making. Would highly recommend the school to others and will be sad to leave when our kids go to kindergarten"
