"The biggest strength is the people. I love my kids teachers and the director. I think they listen to me. There was a time when I didn’t feel heard but they made appropriate adjustments and learned my kids. I am concerned with the high turnover and at times low faculty ratio as it results in my kids being moved around. I can tell that those are their struggle days because they are adjusting to different people."
"I am overall pleased with La Petite Academy. I know my child is safe and is learning and engaging with other children and activities. He eats well there. The day care is clean, they always greet me. My son's teacher usually gives me a quick summary of how the day went. I am able to see my child via camera. I get updates on his toileting and eating. They also send pictures 2-3 times a week. I'm glad I chose this wonderful day care."
"Over all we are very satisfied with the school. Miss D has been wonderful and James has taken to her very much! I love seeing his smiles in the morning when i drop him off!!"
"I love la Petite Academy. I know my kid is taken care of. They update me on his food intake which includes breakfast, lunch and snacks. Diaper changes, learning activities, outside play time and nap times. My two year old has a routine with them (nap and meal times) that we try not to break in the weekend so it's lovely. I also enjoy seeing him on livestream once or twice a day and go about my day with no concerns! They always greet me and communicate with me. It's a good experience and they are 8 minutes from my house. I'm very satisfied."
"The school is clean. The staff greet you when you walk in. It is a calm atmosphere. There is no chaos. NO yelling. The staff show kindness to one another."
"The staff is great, they’re patient and loving which is most important to me. & they are always engaging in activities with my child’s class"
"It's been a great experience thus far. My child is always greeted with a bunch of happy faces and good mornings! from the minute we arrive. The watch me grow cameras were instrumental in easing any early anxiety about how things were going in the classroom. Truly appreciate all the teachers who watch our child daily...it's not an easy task."
"No good in communication about how is my children doing every week .No clean area.No good in resolve problems."
"Ms. Renee is great. It appears that there has been transition to new policies, new programs and new teachers over the past six months or so. Unfortunately, we have noticed because they have not gone so well. It appears that Ms. Renee is trying to right the ship but it is our son that has had to suffer through the transitions."
"In general, it has been positive. When change of directors happened, the quality of communication has declined. Increased problems with staffing and more days missed by my daughter than in the last 2 years"
"i love this school my son loves it also ! they are awesome."
"Overall it’s been great, but would recommend fixing the camera in the infant classroom. That was one of the reasons I chose this school."
"This school has a live video feed for parents all day long. As a parent, you get to watch in real time as your child is ignored while the teachers gossip and show disdain towards their chosen jobs. An infant cannot only lay on their back in a crib or on a rubber mat for 8 hours a day - with no toys or activities to engage in. Diaper changes are long overdue and feedings are more spread out than agreed upon. I want to have a childcare provider who enjoys children, not tolerates their job. I was promised daily tummy time, reading and other interactions. What I see unfold daily are sporadic changes, feeds and babies being placed in the crib on their stomachs. I have to wash the dried spit up from my infant's ears and back of their head at the end of the day because they lay in a pool of it without being attended to. Never again."
"Overall good. Previous director and support staff was not a good fit and lacked communication and coordination. New staff seems to be implementing proper procedures and protocols effectively and communicating well."
"We love Ms.Felicia, our daughter tells us almost daily that Ms.Felicia is her best friend. She has so much patience and has built such wonderful relationships with her little ones. So grateful for her!"
