"We have always had GREAT interactions with the directors and teachers. We began when Jennifer was the director. After that point, Charnetta took over and we had just as good of an experience as we did with Jennifer. Nothing has changed with Martina as director. Martina is very friendly, involved, and helpful. I appreciate her willingness to keep us involved as parents.The teachers that we have encountered have all been very nice and helpful. Jenny Holt is still at the school and she takes special interest with our child from the beginning. We appreciate the help and support."
"We have had a great experience at La Petite. We feel the staff truly love our children. I have recommended La Petite to multiple families."
"Teachers were friendly, engaging and thorough when explaining curriculum and programs they have available. I really thought the real time updates were neat, since I am rather a tech savvy person."
"I think tours should be offered at specific times so you can choose what activity you'd like to see. I thought the directors were very friendly and helpful."
"We have attended for over 6years. It was amazing when we started and we have watched it go down ever since. We have partnered with staff and the various directors that have come we have provided refferences for the faciity when called upon to help potential parents see its a good environment. So these criticisms are not imagined but well founded from a truly concerned family. My younger daughter is not getting the same quality experience my older one got...and thats a shame."

"While the staff was personable, one of my biggest concerns was regarding a staff member who clearly entered the building after smoking. The entire reception area was filled with 3rd hand smoke. I think this is unacceptable and no children should be exposed to 3rd hand smoke at their daycare. I would like an investigation into this because this person's choices will impact the childrens' health. Also, materials were not readily available, the visitor log lacked fresh pages (and none were printed when staff was alerted - I just wrote at the bottom of a full page), and furniture and rugs were stained and in need of cleaning or replacement."
"Martina was very thorough, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The staff seemed great overall as well. I would feel comfortable entrusting my child in their care."
"I only gave the parking lot/outdoor area a 5 because of the growing potholes at the street entrance. They have been there since the summer and I'm hoping they are patched before things get icy. Play areas and building entry look good to us. We love the school, the teachers and the environment for our child. I have heard from friends that the curriculum here is more advanced than area pre-k programs, and that my daughter will have more preparedness for kindergarten. We are comfortable speaking with any teacher or director; they are always accessible and accommodating."

"My son's teacher is incredibly talented at keeping a roucous group of young boys accomplishing their day!"

"I spoke to a person on the phone explaining I really needed child care and they assured me that they had openings. My husband rushed back from DC so we could all tour the center together . When we arrived no one answered the door for 10 min. A parent offered to get a staff member after no one helped us. The staff member refused to give us a tour because she said there were no openings. She said the phone operators have no idea if a center is full or not and they just assign people tours. My son really wanted to come in and the staff could see that . She could have offered a mini tour just so my son could have a look. The phone operator told me to bring my son to the tour so when he couldn't look around it upset him and hurt his feelings. He is 6. I guess the bottom line is I don't want ignorant people who can't understand or be sensitive to the needs of children watching my kid or not watching . Obviously they don't care and it's just a business to them."
"We have had our daughter in this particular La Petite location for over 3 years now. The staff has always been very friendly and inviting. Our daughter has bonded with several of the teachers and has made many friends at the school. We appreciate everything that the school has done for our daughter.We believe that the school has been run very well from Jennifer as the director to Charnetta. The transition was seamless and we appreciate how quickly Charnetta filled the role of director without any issues. We also appreciate the consistency of Andrea and her dedication to the school. The teachers have been very influential and offer honest feedback for our child. The main teachers in our daughter's life have been LaPriya Young, Jenny Holt, Tyshawnn Neil, Jessica, Ms Patty, and Ashley. All have been wonderful to talk with and help our daughter grow. We appreciate their service and level of professionalism."
