"This is a great school! I really appreciate the care and communication of all the teachers and staff each and every day."

"My family loves this place!"

"Overall I really like the school and the staff is very on point. But the connection or the level of care shown by the teachers leaves something to be desired."

"When i started with the school in July, my sons teachers welcomed me with open arms and made sure I felt comfortable leaving him for the first time. They went over his schedule to make sure they would meet all his needs. Since then they have helped me through his milestones and encourage his development on a daily basis. His primary caretaker is very attentive and always coaches me through any concerns or questions I may have!"

"Mediocre abut junior k is the last straw"

"We've had a great transition to the school, and have confidence that the teachers care about our son and will continue to help him adjust socially to a new classroom"

"My son has multiple food allergies to 5 of the top allergens. Our school has been great at working with his allergies. The staff does a great job of providing the menus to us in advance so that we know when our son can eat the school-provided lunch, communicating with us when there has been a change to the menu, and providing alternatives when menus change at the last minute. I know it's additional work for the staff and I'm so greatly appreciative of them for putting in the time and effort. It's so important to us that our son can eat the same foods as his classmates when possible, as I believe it helps him feel included. I'm not sure other daycares would go to the lengths that LPA Springfield does to ensure Leo is fed and feels safe and included. I'm so grateful for the staff and their partnership in managing my son's allergies. Realistically, his life will always look very different than his friends, but the staff here does their best to minimize that."

"Generally good, loved the twos room and the pre k room. Not happy with the preschool"

"Overall good, some teachers have been more communicative than others, and one teacher seemed to complain a lot but she left. Otherwise teachers and staff are fantastic!"

"The teachers/caregivers have been amazing in each room. I do not feel like we get timely notice from the management about movement from one room to another. 1 week isn't sufficient for parents to adjust with appropriate supplies for the child."

"Teachers and staff are terrific; curriculum is alright but could improve (area is difficult to find something particular to our exact desires); facilities are great."

"This time around has been a different experience for our family. Before we had a bit more confidence in the school. We believe the teachers are overwhelmed. We also haven’t received as many crafts or art projects as we had with our precious child."

"We love this school. Your teachers and staff are your strength. They are wonderful."

"La Petite Academy is a fantastic daycare center. The teachers truly care for the children. My son has multiple allergies and his teacher has taken great care in learning about his allergies, being mindful of them, while still ensuring that he feels included during meal times. The one issue is the price. We pay nearly $550/week, about the same as our mortgage. Our son has attended the daycare for about a year and they have already had two price increases during that time. We put up with the prices due to my child's medical issues, but if your child does not have such issues, I'm not sure it's really worth the price. While the teachers are loving and the cameras are great, after this most recent price hike, I'm not sure it's worth the cost."

"Mediocre at best. Major flaws were ignored when Ms. Bambi and her generation of teachers were there and when Essie was an assistant director - but I now do not felt heard and I do not feel that there is concern for my child’s well being. Why the district manager has zero control over Katara and her widely known issues with managing president he center, I have no idea. You would think it would be the district managers job to make sure her staff is following procedure and taking matters (I.e., a child ending up in the ER after being in pain and neglected for 8 hours) quite seriously… but after we spoke with Kelly, katara NEVER did what Kelly said would happen. Katara either doesn’t listen and should be fired or Kelly has zero control over her employees actions… either way - something is way off!"
