"We absolutely LOVE the teachers at La Petite."
"Wonderful school and very sincere and caring teachers. They make my child feel so special every morning we arrive at school... always saying Good Morning, How are you and giving hugs. We look forward to continuing our journey with La Petite South Austin!"
"All in all, the teachers and staff treat our son like he is their own. We love the staff and Jay has really been able to learn how to be around other kids his age and other milestones like peeing on the potty because of this school. I'd like to see sick kids sent home more so their illness doesn't spread throughout the school. As well, the school is extremely close to the main road. That obviously can not be changed. With that being said, there needs to be a light put in at that intersection so that parents can get out onto the main road. I'm not sure how we could get the city to do it but it needs to be done. Where safety is concerned at times during the day the bigger kids come in and open the door that could possibly have a toddler in my sons glass get out without anyone seeing and if that second main door is open then their on that main road and could be hit by a car. Extra care at those times when all those kids come in needs to be taken. These things do worry me and make me feel uneasy at times but I try not to think about them."
"Everyday, I get an update regarding my infant’s ; Nap time, Diaper Changes, Feedings, & photos of her during tummy time or on her favorite bouncer/seat. If anything is going on with her like a fussy day etc, they let me know. The teachers in Infant Room 1 are all amazing, I’m so glad I put my baby girl here. She loves it, she’s excited to get in the room once we walk into the building!"
"My children and I love this school teachers are great director is always friendly"
"Great staff. They sincerely love the kids and make sure they are well taken care of."
"1. Picked up my child early to find him and other children crying and fighting while the teacher was laying down on the slide on her cell phone. I told the director and she had a talk with this teacher.
2. My son was physically scared of a teacher there (peed himself 3 times in one day and had nightmares). I asked him what was going on and he told me (not the teacher) that the teacher was a "Bergen" (a monster from the movie Trolls) because she yells. He is 3 years old and this is how he expresses himself; he also calls girls in dresses princesses (doesn't make them a princess).
3. When his teacher quit (he has had 2 teachers quit within the 3 months he was there) and this new teacher who he is afraid of was potentially going to be his permanent teacher, I voiced my concern to the director and she told me that I "ALWAYS COMPLAIN". Completely unprofessional.
My son will always be a priority to protect and keep safe. If me telling the director how I think a teacher should not be on her phone while having kids under her care or that my son is afraid of this other teacher is referred to as "complaining" then I don't want that type of establishment taking care of my son.
I honestly had better hopes for this facility given its name and the amount of money that I invested."
"Most of the 5 star ratings come from the staff. Believe me when I say don't be fool by their 5 star ratings. If you are considering placing your child here, do it as a last resort."
"5 stars! Love everyone here!"
"The lady in the front always gave me a hard time, she never works with you. It’s not the best best it’s ok place. The teachers are sometimes in there phones. Daycare is expensive but a little cheaper than other places I don’t have any help and had to deal with them I quit my job to take care of my daughter "
"Good value. Staff cares about the children."
"I absolutely love this location. All the teachers are very caring with my kiddos. Both of my boys love attending. "
"We love how happy our child is here! He comes home so excited about all he has done and learned each day and we are so proud of his progress!"
"We love it here!! We love all of the teachers and our daughter is usually excited to go to school everyday."
"Im really disappointed of this place I had really good references and they were just not right."
"We have been very pleased and happy with this center."
