"Our overall experience has been good. I feel like my son is cared for and safe. The price is reasonable. There does seem to be a high rate of turnover by teachers though."
"My thoughts on La Petite are not great. I would HIGHLY encourage someone looking to attend school elsewhere. Its cheap, that is for sure, but you get what you pay for. School is filthy. Old nasty toys and gross bedtime cots area everywhere. Even the adult bathroom is gross. The class size varies all the time but yesterday I picked my girls up and there was 33 kids to 1 teacher. This was in the 3-4 year old class. The teacher had it under control but there is no way she can effectively teach and mentor this amount of children. On top of the disgusting facility there was also a TON of screen time there. When I dropped girls off I would see the preK class watching 1 ipad of what looked like a cartoon. This happens most mornings. At the end of the day they combine classes and watch a movie. I have picked up at different times and from about 530-630 they are normally watching a movie. I understand this preschool is cheaper than most but in no circumstances in my opinion is it ok to watch this much screen time! I pay for someone to teach and play with my kids. I could continue all day with all my complaints but here is my final advise... STAY AWAY. Besides all the negative they do have 1 really good employee and that is their director, Tamara. She was super sweet and helpful getting us settled in and always addresses concerns with such empathy. Shes great! And our kids teachers could be amazing as well but they are so understaffed they just have too many children to watch after. Hope you find this review helpful!"
"I would like to see more teacher involvement and more communication from the school to parents."
"The staff is wonderful they always greet in every room. Ms.Tamara or Ms.Tiffany make sure to be available and help. My son has had lots of trouble listening but they are very nice and understanding when dealing with him. I am updated daily with both positive and negative. We previously attended this school and left but once Tamara returned I gave it another chance. I have been totally satisfied."
"It’s a good school. The teachers & direcots are great. My only concern has been the high turn over. If it can keep a consistent staff & add a solid pre-k, it would be an excellent school."
"I went a few days ago on a tour and the lady in the front stunk and was really rude when I was asking her questions about pricing which I got 2 different prices.. The staff look wore out and tired it was all fake smiles..kids where standing on tables and not listening to the teacher... I will not be bringing my kids here "
"You need to remove the director at your location on 183 and Cedar Park RI staff and retrain"
"The tour went well and everyone was very nice, the facility was very concerning to me."
"Very calm & full of information. Instructor that I was introduced to were very attentive to the children in their care & very polite."
"La petite is a great school. It's going threw some changes of staff that takes time to adjust for both children and us parents. I recommend it."
"I love Jeni and she has put such a positive environment to the daycare. Tamara is amazing in details and remembering my kids goal. I would like to see a better system as far as diapers go. I know it's a lot of little butts, but at least a chart with each name and corresponding diaper size."
"My general experience has been fair with the school. I know they just got a new director and she is trying to get her foot in the door and get things straightened out, but they have a ways to go. I have seen some positive changes since the new director has come and so it is very encouraging that great things may come soon! At the end of the day my child seems happy and tells me that he has had a good day everyday."
"Our new director Jeni is awesome. She continuously strives for improvement of the facility and is working hard to make it a great place for the kids. She is friendly and always makes you feel you are the most important thing she has to deal with while she is with you. She always has a smile and knows the kids individually. She obviously loves her job!"
"My general feeling about this school is that there is an element, a small handful of teacher there that are truly dedicated to the care and education of the students. They cannot do it all. It is very clear who the core team members are and who are the ones that are just treading water."
