"Overall, I we do enjoy the school and feel like the teachers do care about the children. For the money that is paid, better meals/snacks should be provided. As a stem school there should be evidence that the school is actually developing these skills in the children. You can tell the school was a little understaff and teachers are overwhelmed, but seems like they are trying to change this by adding additional teachers. More physical activities should be provided as part of the tuition (i.e soccer) to help develop the kids motor skills and learning how to take instructions and work/play better with others."

"Leia, my daughter, has been slower in certain developmental areas for infant milestones for movement and self feeding. The school has shown infinite patience, accommodation, and involvement in working on our physical therapy exercises at the school. They've also kept her in the appropriate environment for her classroom and doing a good job keeping her with her cohort as much as possible. I am certain that because of the care of the school, her teachers and her parents, Leia has made the most progress to finally learning to walk and self feed so she can be in the Toddler cohort more often and do it safely."

"I love having Toni as the director. Since she came on board there have been many positive changes including better communication, more organized activities for the kids, after school events for parents night out. She has high expectations for the kids but loves them and both of my kids give her a hug each day as we leave. I am always able to talk with her about concerns and she is very easy to talk with."

"We love the school!! We love the teachers!! Wish we could have the staff come with us when we move!!"

"Positive, family oriented environment. Very nurturing staff."

"Generally, La Petite Academy was a convenient child care option for us. We are glad that we had this experience despite COVID 19."

"It is the best place to take your children to."

"From the outside looking in I thought lapati was a top night school. It was rated one of the top 10 day cares in Durham. But sadly when I enrolled I was disappointed. Disappointed in the curriculum cleanliness of the property and lack of communication skills and listening skills from the director."

"Great staff! Very friendly and easy to work with. The girls have so much fun and are learning so much. I can see growth in them and love the structure this provides."

"Generally, we have had a positive experience with the school. Our child likes all the teachers they have encountered and gets along well with the other students. It was hard to lose Shamequa as a Director, but Tonia seems to be settling well into the role and we are excited to see Rose step up as Assistant Director."

"This was a great center with great staff until about 3 weeks ago. The long time director left and a new director was hired, Toni. She has created nothing but chaos in this school for parents. She has un-enrolled at least 2 students for no reason. She did not work with the students or parents, gave no notice and just un-enrolled them. I have seen her very combative, especially with fathers. She is rude on the phone and does not want to hear anything. As a single father, this is troubling, and that is why I pulled my child. I miss the great directors Shamequa and Jessica. They got to know the parents and the children. I would stay away from this daycare. They also promote teaching kids and getting them ready for school, this is a lie. When I watch the video stream it is just the children running around."

"Overall I am satisfied. Would like a little more communication either in app or in person as to how child's day was"

"We relocated from another La Petite location in November. We have had 0 sickness since. And my daughter seems to be in a great mood every day. Really happy with the positive atmosphere among employees and among kids. It’s been a great transition!"

"Overall I'm a very pleased with the care that my child is receiving at the school. The many forms of communication with the staff/teachers sets then apart from other experiences that I have had. My child was already advanced when they started at La Petite, and is thriving there. The curriculum and preparation that they are receiving there has no doubt helped my child to learn and develop significantly."

"Lovely experience with knowledgeable staff"
