"The staff are friendly and loving, and have an innate sense of how to interact with the children individually. Our child is autistic, and the directors and teachers have gone out of their way to help her socialize and communicate. We are amazed at her progress."
"I have had few issues with the staff and experience at LPA Garner. They are always congenial and professional. I am concerned about turnover among their employees, but that is not uncommon in the profession. Stability is important, but there is not much a Director can do to keep an employee who is intent on leaving. The staff is caring and patient and do provide adequate structure and support to students of all ages. I have appreciated all the work they have done with my son over the years, and there are several teachers that we will miss when he goes to kindergarten later this month."
"Overall, the experience has been good which is why our child is still there. However, I do have my hesitations, since the teachers don't seem to genuinely enjoy their time with the children (I understand that doesn't have to be every day, but it should be more often than not). I want to know my baby is not just there to be fed, changed, and put down to nap, I want him to have a nurturing environment. Also, the food sounds a lot like basic cafeteria food and I would be willing to pay more for my child to have better quality food (I used to send my own baby food and I would send his other food now if I knew it wasn't going to cause problems in his class with him having different food than everyone else)."
"Lapeptite has a wonderful before and after school program! The staff is very professional and well organized!The teachers have total control and you never have to worry about your child being bullied or anything because the teachers are on top of everything!"
"The location is clean, and the staff is extremely friendly. The center is equipped with newer technologies for daily reports for the children. The center is laid out very open floorplan between classes, which might work for some, but would cause a problem for my kids who get more worked up with more noise (and they're very outgoing kids with lots of energy). The teacher seemed nice and like she cared a lot about the kids. Outside time is pretty short, and kept on a tight schedule due to limited space. Not many teachers at the center are fully educated in early childhood education, and concerns me to be able to teach more strong willed children."
"Need more stability. There are always new teachers coming in and out and prices could be more affordable. Other childcare facilities do not charge as much and does not charge several registration fees."
"Tour was great. I would have preferred to have the knowledge of no immediate availability before the tour. I was told that this location had an immediate opening and that was not the case."
"The rooms are small and I didn't see any indoor large motor play area"
"Ms. Vanessa Price is the REASON why I enrolled my children into this school. When I came for the tour she was very friendly, open and honest. She did an excellent job of making me feel welcomed and that I mattered. She listened to me regarding my children's dietary needs and she ensured that my wishes would be respected. Ms. Vanessa Price is an AMAZING person and La Petite Academy is lucky to have her. I, appreciate her friendliness then and I continue to do so each day that I see her. I, thanked her the day that I dd the tour and I will continue to do so. She made the enrollment process easy and as painful as possible (minus all the paperwork that I had to fill out and sign for my 3 Girls). (Smile)Thank You, Ms. Vanessa Price.Chianti Sheantrease Muhammad"

"I loved the friendly and safe environment. How well my child responded to the other children and staff. Our tour guide and the teacher of the class that my child would be in; were very helpful, and gave me plenty of information."
"I have had great experience since the moment I came for the tour. Staff is great, facility is clean and neat and the children look happy to be there. I am glad that my children love going to daycare everyday."

"Generally positive. The teachers in the 3 and 4 year old classes have been wonderful and patient and involved in all aspects of my son's care and education. They are honest with us and I believe they are a great group of people."
