"I've had nothing but positive experiences with the staff of the Cedar Rd La Petite Academy. I really enjoy the interactions I have with the staff, who are incredibly friendly. It's also been a joy to watch my daughter go from being somewhat closed off to being much more social, to the point that whereas she had issues communicating what she wanted before, she now speaks in full sentences, which is just wonderful. La Petite has done extremely well in providing her with an early childhood education, and I look forward to seeing her additional growth through the coming school year."

"Everyone has been great about being a part of the growing and transitioning of my child from month to month. I have liked everyone Who has been a caretaker so far, but i feel that things seem incredibly crazy some days in the twos room. Toddlers are hard to keep down, I appreciate that, so having two caretakers for 16 toddlers seems not adequate. I know the teachers are doing their best but i feel there should be either more caretakers in this room or less children. I also feel that since Precious status started I know less about what has gone on each day. Some days I get great pictures and notes them other days information is scant. I love the idea of The technology, but the paper reports were better than what we get right now."

"Overall, our family has had a wonderful experience. The only thing that has been frustrating is the frequent change in staff and directors."

"I have really enjoyed the changes in the school over the last few months. I was skeptical before Jennifer came on board but since Jennifer has come on board she has brought a great relief. Her enthusiasm is astounding and just what the school was lacking. My only concern is the afternoon teacher my infant has. When I pick up at 5, this teacher seems to only be worrying about the toys being soaked so she can leave rather than my screaming child who just wants to be picked up. She is not friendly and never greets me. I am not the only caregiver that has picked up my children and they have noticed this as well. She has been in other classrooms with my other children and I didn't like her demeanor then either. I have mentioned this before previously. Other than that, the teachers by kids have are amazing! The ladies in the morning really enjoy what they do and they are all always engaged with my kids. Love these ladies!"

"The school is not bad by any means I think there has been a lot of changes happening recently. When we enrolled we had one director and then she left being replaced by the second director(she was horrible, communication was SEVERLY lacking and never seemed happy to be with the kids) and now there is a third director (she is MUCH better!!) but she seems to be pulled in 50 directions, and nothing that we were told by the second director were true and poor Jennifer seems to get the brunt of everybody's frustrations. Communication throughout the whole school seems to be lacking we are told something by one teacher then something completely different from another teacher. The school is not a bad school and I do not want anyone to think they are doing a bad job I think they need to all get on the same page and maybe add a few additional staff to help out."

"The teachers so far have been wonderful and caring. It is so nice to see them comfort the children when their parents leave and to know that they take the time to let our child sit on their laps, chat with them during play time, and really pay attention to their learning."
"I can not answer my phone while I am at work. (Teacher) I would prefer a text message if the staff need to get ahold of me, however, I have been told that they are not allowed to do this. Please change this policy so that I can get timely updates and emergency information about my child while she is in PL care. Thanks."
"So far we are very impressed. Previously we had a nanny taking care of our newborn. Our nanny came proved she was worthless and did not interact with our son or give him the proper attention he craved. We've seen the way he smiles when he sees his teachers at La Petite. I've overheard other teachers interacting with the older children and everything has been very positive. As all new parents are, we want only the best for our child. I feel that we are giving Mason the best care we can give short of staying at home (and even still, I like the fact that he has interaction/exposure to other children). Mason has learned so much in his short time at La Petite and we are very satisfied with our new 'extended family'. Thank you!!"
"I used to love this school, then management changed, and now I want to switch schools. I really do not think my daughter is learning anything, and for $200 a week she should definitely be showing progress."
"Friendly staff, but not what I am looking for in a Pre-School setting."
