"They are wonderful and I appreciate all of the staff at this school. They do amazing work with children."
"These teachers work extremely hard in a very demanding job. I appreciate every single one of them for helping our kids grow. It’s hard to keep help these days and I know they have more responsibilities each day because of that. Thank you for all that you do!"
"Staff is very nice and sweet. I just think they are overwhelmed with the ratios and don’t have time to provide high quality care to the babies."
"It has been Nice! Interactions with teachers and school staff is good and I have seen my child learn a lot of things."
"My baby has been attending la petite since he was 3 months old. They have all become my second family. I absolutely trust them with my son, I have never had a problem, the kids are all happy to be there, the staff is amazing!! I had legal and protection issue with my sons father, and they made sure to protect and care for my son. I really appreciate the extra steps they took to care about his safety and my peace of mind. Everyone at my La Petite location deserves a raise. It takes a village to raise a child and I’m glad I found mine."
"Horrible experience at this school.Director Monica is rude, condescending, demeaning, cold.Not the right fit or personality for a daycare at all. Seems more suited for prison management.Not nice, not friendly, not communicative.Handled a very personal scary situation horribly without any compassion or grace."
"I have had nothing but great experiences with this school. Everyone is very kind and attentive to my grandson"
"It’s been great. There’s constantly a lot of changes. It’s very scary there inconsistency idk how much longer we can attend they are cutting hours, bus routes. I live day to day in fear of there frequent changes and the not knowing how long do they cut my sons school off completely and there hrs are really getting shorter. And they don’t give timely notices. It’s scary how quick changes happen could cause job loss."
"I'm very happy with how kind the staff is and how flexible they are when I need to move days around!"
"Very positive. We've been extremely happy with our school.My only complaint/feedback likely extends beyond our specific la petite location: covid response and handling closures has been inconsistent and often frustrating. I understand covid closures happen, and our local staff has been very responsive in regards to safety and health of the children and staff. But when closures DO happen, it's anyone's guess how long a closure will be for, what procedure is necessary to come back (testing/no testing), etc.This obviously presents a challenge to any parents using la petite as a primary daycare source, there is no guarantee how long impacts would last when an inevitable class closure happens. If a written policy or guideline exists, I'm sure parents would love to at least know what the baseline is (and then if unique challenges or one-off situations arose that extended said guidelines/closures, then parents could go from there)Otherwise - our local team is tremendous! We appreciate you all so much!"
"As much as it’s advertised as a “school” this is really just babysitting. There’s minimal advancement in my child at daycare and when I brought up concerns about my child being advanced and needing more, I was told that happens in the next classroom and the current classroom doesn’t have that option. It’s fine, but nothing stellar. It’s basically to get us through to pre school"
"Overall I absolutely love this school. The teachers are extremely warm and kind. They really seem to love the kids. My son loves Ms. Gail. I feel confident he is safe there and treated kindly. And he is learning."
"Our experience is mediocre at best. The teachers act as babysitters, not teachers. Communication is poor and the stated ratios are often not followed and the daycare resorts to the state maximum. It seems like I’m paying a lot more than what we actually receive."
"The school is very well kept, clean, and nurturing. The staff seems responsible and respectful with our kiddo. She has picked up songs and good behaviors from her time spent at daycare and we really appreciate the amount of socialization she has with her peers. Prices are good and availability is great, since we are currently enrolled for one day a week, which most places don’t offer."
"My general experience has been mediocre. I understand care will be different than what I provide at home, but I've been disappointed in the lack of communication and fostering of new skills."
