"It’s been great, can’t complain."
"La Petite Bonita has been great for my child and myself. My child has grown and developed so much. From curriculum to social skills and everything in between my child has excelled. All of the staff have been kind, nurturing, great models and excellent teachers to us. I wouldnt change my decision on choosing La Petite. We wish we could stay from K-12."
"Welcoming to my son and I supportive and helpful staff"
"Would love for teachers working with toddlers to be more warm and nurturing specially to new children who are crying and having a hard time adjusting."
"One of the standouts was how welcoming all professionals are. They know the name of our daughter and can speak to what she does throughout the day. Seeing the lesson plans and what skills they are developing really helps us understand and trust La Petite."
"It’s been fantastic! Our daughter started as a toddler and is now in the pre-K class. Heartbroken this will be her last year with the school. She has blossomed and learned so much and made incredible friendships and bonds with the teachers including Ms.Kristen the center director."
"Love La Petite. I feel so much safer knowing I have access to the live stream the app."
"My experience 5 years ago was incredible, but since then the director and staff has changed. The office is disorganized and messy, and that kind of disorganization rolls over to parent accounts. They would do well with an admin to organize their office and keep it tidy since it's also the first thing parents see when they come in. Also, Ms. Lucy was very professional and had a lot of patience, and was very sweet - we really miss that in a director. You can tell the new staff seem very inexperienced and stressed all of the time, the teachers and the cook (aside from the admin staff) are the best though and I am so glad many of them are still there, it's nice to see warm and familiar faces. The curriculum is great and we're glad it will be a stepping stone for our child, our son was here until TK but now I think we'll put our daughter into preschool nearby due to the disorginanization."
"I had a bad experience with this location. I work full time at scripps hospital as a nurse and my husband handles the drop off and pick ups. I went once to go pick up my kids and wasn’t greeted and was running around trying to find them and their belongings. The second time Kristen asked me “can I help you?” Not a hello or anything. I had to explain I was Kai and Kalani’s mother. She then proceeded to talk about me behind my back with another woman that was there. I could hear what they were saying and I was offended because who are you to make me feel unwelcome when we spend money to have our kids receive proper education. I sent Kirsten an email regarding my son because they decided on day 2 they wanted him evaluated and I felt disrespected you didn’t even try to get to know him instead you made it seem like he had an issue when the issue was he was in a new environment. His pediatrician wrote that it was an unfair evaluation on the schools part. in the booklet it says it takes 2 weeks for adjustments"
"Overall the school is good, I don’t like that breakfast is considered a snack. My kids are there before I can feed them breakfast. I also don’t like that prices have also raised 5 times since my kids started less than two years ago. I also don’t think it’s fair that I can’t get the sibling/military discount just because I get aid, the school gets the same amount of money regardless of who pays."
"The director is always friendly and professional. Always helps me with any questions I have."
"Teachers are warm and nurturing, the director seems non-empathetic and condescending."
"The staff has been very welcoming and responsive to me. I was surprised to see one staff (who was alone with several kids in the morning) texting on their cell phone so that should be emphasized for the health and safety of the kids"
"It’s been truly wonderful having lily at this school. I have full confidence in the staff and I can tell she is learning so much. I do wish we could communicate more in person about her progress but I do understand covid safety protocols and how busy drop off and pick up can be."
"Love the communication and flexibility of the program"
