"It's uneasy seeing this much turnover. I've witnessed unbalanced ratios of teachers to students and watch kids get hurt by classmates. The teachers who feel they are being taken care of are happy but the ones who don't feel this way, which is most, leave. How can our children get the best care if the employees aren't getting it? This school is good but it has potential to be great and it's not there yet."
"Mrs Naz is amazing and she is the only reason we are still at La Petite. My husband and I love the app it was a big part of why we picked this school. It has been upsetting to see 6 teachers leave in less than 2 months then I find out later that the school was cited and fined for an incident in the 2 year old room via a mother on Facebook. The rates at this school have gone up 3 times since we started and we have only been here 1 year 2months. I don’t see any new activities or toys at the school."
"the infant/toddler room and teachers are absolutely amazing and the reason that we chose this daycare. We have not been disappointed. As an educator (kindergarten and ECE) when I have had to do early pick up and walked through the Pre-K class there have been some concerns around student engagement/classroom management that do leave me wondering what the future would hold however we have a long time to discuss with the director. We adore where we are and the preschool environment!!"
"I would like to tour again, another time to make my final decision about the school."
"We LOVE Ms. Nazifah! We have had the most interaction with her. She is so caring and wonderful with all the children. She is probably the number 1 reason we are at this school. She treats the kids as if they are her own. You can't buy that kind of love with money. Please do not lose her!"
"We could not be more impressed with LPA. We are so grateful to our son's teacher, Miss Nazifah, who is so great with our son. She is kind, sincere, and provides wonderful nurturing care. Our son almost always smiles upon seeing her every day and we love the arts and crafts projects she sends home. The other teachers are always friendly and we have full confidence in the school's director as well. The only critique we have is that we have seen two tuition increases in a mere two months (one is for the next school year). The price point is near our ceiling and we know we can save over $300/month by choosing other schools with very good quality.... we would hate to leave LPA."
"Friendly staff. My child is happy every time I pick her up. Director always has creative, fun activities planned."
"The visit changed my whole Idea about the school...I loved La Petite before..my son was there for preschool...but after meeting the new director..she was really annoyed by my daughters..and kept telling them sit down...and started judging me with my interaction with my kids..and that they don't follow the rules...I didn't feel like Iam welcomed or respected..Iam not coming back again..."

"The infant toddler program at this school is great. Beyond that I would not send my child there if I had another option. It seems that they talk about making things better and adding programs but they are not excelling at much. They should fix what's not working then add more."

"The school has been fantastic. Dropping off an infant is very hard and emotional, but our teacher, Ms. Nazifah, has been absolutely spectacular. Our daughter loves her so much, and it is wonderful to see her happy at school. Everyone is kind and I know that the staff genuinely cares about my daughter."

"I felt comfortable choosing this school. I went on a couple of other tours afterwards but my heart is set on la petite."
"It's been wonderful overall. It's clear that most of his teachers really love him which is important to me.I do feel like I get unnecessary email communication from the director about activities at the school that don't impact my son's age group. I do feel like some of the teachers are more engaging than others and I've had a couple frustrating experiences where it seemed like a teacher didn't know what was going on when I dropped off or picked up my kiddo.I have looked at other centers and even though this center is EXPENSIVE!! It has an amazing staff and my son is thriving and happy so I can't justify swapping. However, it would be nice to have more competitive rates and a better sibling discount. I pay almost as much a month in daycare fees as I do for rent which is really hard to justify, especially for only part time care."
