"The school directors were very enthusiastic and dedicated to the school and their mission. The teachers were also engaging"
"The staff are friendly and professional. The teachers, Ms. Kim and Ms. Jocelyn, are simply outstanding - two of the nicest, most patient, loving, and happy individuals. I am able to continue to work during the pandemic because I have confidence that my daughter is well taken care of."
"I love Imani. She is wonderful. I had a very negative experience with one of their teachers, I don't believe she is aware of how concerning her behavior is. I was under the impression she made other members of the staff nervous as well. Additionally, I don't know that her personality is compatible with care giving. All others have been marvelous."
"wonderful teachers, very warm"
"I have had an excellent experience! Staff has been very kind and polite. Nice to see the same faces every day. I am happy my child is enrolled here."
"Good. I would recommend. However I think a more detailed and comprehensive schedule of education and skills training would be a plus."
"My son has attended the school for almost two years now. ALL of the teachers he has had have been amazing. Ms. Anu is kind and gentle and really reassured me that he was in safe hands. Ms. Dana and Ms. Kim take teaching to a whole other level! Ms. Hema and Ms. Brandi are so caring and patient and really think outside of the box when it comes to curriculum and activities. I have had a wonderful experience so far! I would highly recommend this School! "
"In the last 5 years there have been significant staff changes and many of them. I do not feel there are many great teachers/staff with experience or polish. My child has had a great and amazing teacher this last 6 months and we were lucky to end this way."
"We have been attending La Petite Academy of Ellicott City for more than a year. We had to change providers when we moved to the area and were concerned that our son might miss his previous school. Since the first day, he has not looked back. He celebrates Mondays with a gusto because it is a school day. Miss Bethany and Miss Imani have always been there for us and made us feel welcomed everyday. Miss Gail, who is the Pre-K teacher is so good that I am afraid my son's future teachers will not be able to live up to her standards. We wholeheartedly recommend La Petite Academy of Ellicott City."
"I do wish that pick up was more pleasant for parents/caregivers who are picking up their children and almost mirrored the kindness and attentiveness that we receive in the morning from adults."
"Glad to see the recent investment in technology in the facility. Teachers are pleasant most of the time. Emphasis on education (early reading) was not as strong as we would have liked"
"We were told when we enrolled that breakfast was at 8:30. The kids don't eat until 9:45 on most days so I still need to feed my daughter breakfast. I'd like to know how long my daughter's naps are, not just when they turned out the lights and turned them back on. I'd like a better report on what the kids actually did during the day and what skills they are working on so that we can further them at home. I'd like to know if my child is exhibiting any bad habits or unfriendly behavior so we can also work on those. I think certain staff are very good, however there are a few that really don't seem to want to be there. I was aware that the school was not rated very highly when we enrolled, but with the amount we are paying I expect a certain level of communication and care."
"This has been a great experience! The teachers are wonderful and the Director is amazing!"
"The new director is a great improvement over the previous one. Most teachers are very good. We have only had a couple of issues and after speaking with the director they are quickly resolved. Overall we are happy with this school and plan on continuing sending our children."
"The staff seem genuinely interested in the kids and I love that they called me each day his first two weeks to let me know how he was doing. They do wonders with what they have to work with and I laud their patience."
"Overall, it's been satisfactory but there is much room for improvement, especially given the multiple staff changes."
