"We have interviewed several other locations and decided to enroll our daughter at LA Petite Academy and cannot wait for her to start. :)"
"Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Esther, & Ms. Yancy are phenomenal"
"The school has been a great place for our daughter to attend. She is excited to go. Loves her teacher. Has made many new friends and we can see the growth in her development physically, socially and emotionally. We chose this location because the staff made us feel welcome and safe when we took a tour. The explained everything in detail and took the time to answer all of our questions. There is constant communication with plenty of details about what is coming up."
"La Petite is our extended family. We can’t imagine our lives now without the school."
"Wonderful experience overall. I wish my school-aged son were able to do more reading/writing activities to reinforce school work, but I understand it may be hard with kids of different ages."
"management is amazing and the teachers update me all day on what my children are doing. Communication is easy"
"It is important for children to have consistency. We have had a rotation of several teachers throughout one school year over the past several years. Thankfully they have all been great, but it always leaves parents with a sense of unease at who might come next, and it's hard for children to build that relationship over and over again, especially if the child is more introverted. Investing in retaining good teachers would instill a sense of reliability and structure to the program. Changes that have been made since the new director has come have been well received. Thank you all for what you do for our kids."
"Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Esther, & Ms. Sandra are all amazing"
"It is a great school for my child because of the early education she is recieving and a great social enviorment for her to interact with other students and the teachers."
"Following the hiring of the Director and Assistant Director there has been a staff turnover at an alarming rate. The school is frequently understaffed and unable to provide consistent structure for the students. My family is changing schools to ensure our children are best prepared to enter preschool and have consistent teachers who can track their progress and relay information back to us."
"When we first enrolled the teachers were all welcoming, inclusive, and educated through either the school's system or through their own education/ college. After a near-complete turnover of the school, I still don't know who my child's teacher is for the day, my child is moved constantly from one classroom to another- most often down in age groups instead of to older classrooms, and i get no information on what they are working on. After my first child left to go to elementary school, my second child constantly asked when they could also go to a new school. When asked why, my three-year-old said because I don't like my school. After that statement, I had no choice but to start looking deeper into what they were experiencing during the day and looking into other options for their care."
“We set a high standard for ourselves, and we’re so sorry to hear this was not met in your interaction with our school. Please call us at 800-527-3848 so we can discuss this matter in more detail.”
"We have legal custody of our granddaughter because of her parents' substance abuse issues. They are not to see our grandaughter. The director/asst. director recently informed us that our granddaughter was not herself. We investigated the situation and have found out the the paternal grandparents are permitting the unfit parents to see our granddaughter. We so appreciate their care and concern for our granddaughter's well being."
"I walked in there on last week for a tour and I fell in love with the school. The teachers are great, the center was clean and the children seem happy. The director is very pleasant,nice and really knows each and every child needs. I will recommend everyone to go to lapetite. "
"I absolutely love this daycare! The director truly cares about the children and goes out of her way to make sure the feel comfortable . It's like my extended family. I truly love my child here. Thank you for all you do to make her feel so comfortable and love going to school every day!"
"My son and daughter just started here at La.Petite Academy a couple of months ago. I was extremely hard for my because they were both home with a nanny. This is the first time we ever used a daycare. I must say my kids have adjusted well! The director and assistant director are both amazing. They have gone out of their way to make sure my family feels comfortable and loved. My children absolutely love coming to this daycare. My husband I could not be more happier! Thank La Petite for putting us at ease. "
"The school does an excellent job with flexible scheduling (flex pass). My children are very happy to go to school, which to me gives the most valuable feedback."
