"It would be nice to have more picture and video updates during the day. Our previous school uploaded multiple pictures and videos every day. This does not seem to be a priority here but it would be nice to have them. It helps give me a sense of what my child is doing during the day. But really, we have loved our time with the Old Farm Drive team! They really do amazing things for all of the kids. I loved the Thanksgiving lunch with the families. That was a beautiful time. The teachers go above and beyond and I’m grateful for everything they do!"
"La Petite Old Farm has been home to my daughter for the past 3 years and my son just began there as a 4 month old this past month. My daughter looks forward to going to school because of how loved and valued she feels there. From the moment she walks through the doors she is welcomed and supported. She talks about school and looks forward to going the next day. The new leadership at this location have been absolutely integral in creating a space where the children are safe, feel loved, and learn all while having fun. The app makes it easy on a mamas heart to check in and see what they are up to and how they are doing throughout the day and almost all of the teachers there treat my kids as if they were their own. We stumbled into this daycare when my daughter was 2 and I cannot imagine my kids anywhere else."
"We have had a great experience so far. The teachers communicate well and truly care about the kids."
"My 9 month old loves his school. He practically climbs out of his car seat when we arrive each morning. He loves his teachers and will reach for them out of my arms. I get consistent feedback that he had a good day and did really well and the teachers are excited to share his progress with me. I often see a teacher holding and rocking him when I view the livestream. All of this proves to me he enjoys being at school and his teachers love being there with him. Knowing my infant is safe, happy, and cared for at school is so important while I’m at work. It’s worth every penny."
"I have had a very amazing experience. I feel like my kids are part of a family and really cared about! They are only one day a week and I am shocked at how everyone knows them and treats them like their own children. Truly incredible daycare"
"The increased tuition is frustrating because it noted better trained staff and higher quality yet we’ve seen this all diminish after the previous director was removed. Teachers have left leaving the location understaffed resulting in our child getting moved back down to lower classrooms developmentally."
"We have loved La Petite from when our oldest was an infant until this recent director change. It has been disappointing and frustrating to see the quality in care and education drop so much due to the director change. And it speaks volumes to how amazing the previous director was."
"Teachers and staff are friendly and inclusive. The Center is clean and organized. Teacher expectations and student expectations are high."
"We love Ms. Dom & Ms. Laura and are very happy with how our child has grown and felt comfortable."
"My general expereince is that has been great up to prek"
"I have had an amazing experience. She has been in 4 different rooms and all of the teachers have been amazing. The leads are understanding and amazing. She has a blast everyday and it makes me comfortable to leave her at day"
"Overall it's been pretty good. We feel a little in the dark about changes from room to room and what's going on in the classroom (so we can mimic at home)."
"We hate it here. We pay more than our mortgage in fees to this place, and the care is terrible. Considering this place as a school, our child is not really learning and doing much. We never get photos of our child's activities anymore, and our child rarely even brings home things he's worked on there. We're not really convinced there is any kind of education curriculum here. So, moving from school to just a baby sitting service, things are not much better. As mentioned, our child's safety is not really seriously taken into consideration, and we've had a number of incidents over the time he has been here. Nevertheless, we spend > $1600 / month to send our child here for this. If we had more flexibility and options, we would leave immediately, but we feel a little bit stuck at the moment. Hopefully we can get out of this place soon!"
"The staff has been wonderful in working with myself and my chilf"
"We've pretty much had problems from early on. From physical abuse (which was resolved adequately) to poor health and safety guideline adherence to aids that did very little to engage and enrich the children under their care, we've seen a lot here. If it didn't cost more than our mortgage, I may be a little more forgiving (well, except for physical abuse and lack of covid safety protocols) of things like just letting the kids sit and watch cartoons on an iPad for hours, or staff not really playing and interacting with the kids. For the cost, you'd be just as well sending your kids elsewhere."
