"Despite the occasional issue, the leaders and teachers have always been attentive and quick to respond to any problems my family or child had. I do not regret choosing this daycare."
"I have always had minor concerns about the school, its curriculum, and what it offers, but generally my child is very happy. She might get tired or frustrated with attending at times, but she gets more good than bad out of it."
"In the beginning the school was amazing. All of the teachers in the infant class were wonderful teachers. The teachers my child has now need more training."
"They have always taken good care of my children. Both Jody and Helen are fantastic at their jobs. They make the families feel welcome."
"Okay. some of the teachers seem overwhelmed and shut off. Only a handful of teachers seem to genuinely like their job, the others seem like they would jump to a different center in a heartbeat if they could. I do not see a whole lot of smiles on the teachers’ faces anymore."
"The school has dramatically improved since my child has started attending. The children are happy and the teachers are friendly. I have no worrisome concerns what so ever."
"Jody and the whole staff care about the development of our kids, safety and education. Camp is an amazing schedule of fun filled trips most other camps cant accomplish. Thanks La Petite. MR JONES."
"Jody and staff are great. We love them all!"
"All the staff has been friendly and helpful. My child has learned a lot since starting there."
"I wish when new staff come, there’s some kind of introduction or announcement. I have no idea who some of these people are and most of the time my children don’t either. I’d also like to know if new teachers in my childrens classrooms have any qualifications, certifications, etc or even what their name is"
"I really like this school and my son is always excited to go and see his little friends. The school is very great at working with my schedule since it changes weekly. Miss Jody is always very pleasant and professional as well as the assistant director. I was drawn to the school because of how close it is and because it is a 4 star rated program, though, I would love to see the school get their 5 star accreditation. Also, my son has a speech delay and has immensely improved both with verbal and nonverbal communication in just the few months he has been at La Petite. My only complaint would be that I wish they would drop some of the covid protocols and let parents drop their kids off into the classroom and go back to the normal opening time, and id like to see the 2s participate in field trips which id be more than happy to help chaperone."
"This is the best daycare I have affiliated any of my children with. There’s never a day I don’t think my son is learning something. He is very loved at school, he enjoys his play time and lunch. I just couldn’t be more happier. I never pick him up and have to ask “was anyone mean to you today?” Which is what all of us moms are always worried about!"
"The teachers love the kiddos, they try but with out more assistance and support from the director it will never be a great facility. Lapetite is going to have to change the way it does business. It can not be finacially motivated to stay open it will have to be motivated by what they can offer kiddos and their families and if they cant do a great job,close."
"Some of the turn around of staff worries me. My child has to become acquainted with someone different pretty often. Lack of quality staff hurts not only the facility, but the teachers who have to pick up slack from other teachers who call off often and quit. It also causes issues for our child and us. I enjoy several of the ones that our child has had over the past yr. However, there are times I go in to drop off/pick up my child and someone new is in the classroom who I am not familiar with nor is my child. I’ve seen my child who was an infant at the time get flung back pretty damn hard into an unfamiliar teachers arm Who was trying to get him to stop fussing and give him a bottle. I could tell she did it out of annoyance and it hurt to seeFortunately, I do not see that teacher have to interact with my child often or if not at all anymore. There are several teachers there who have been amazing and so friendly, which makes us Feel comfortable and at ease when we bring out child there."
