"Carrie is a FANTASTIC director. When we came to tour before we enrolled, she was the one that sealed why we wanted to come. That was over a year a go and there have been a lot of changes, but she has been consistent and runs a great school. The cost is high, but we realize we are getting a loving and great education with people we trust!"
"We love all the teachers. My daughter likes her school and loves her teachers. She walks in the school with a lot of confidence like is her home. Teachers are always sweet, caring and nurturing as well communicative despite hands full, they always stop to say hello, ask how are we doing and give us a word on our child’s day. They are SUPER!"
"The instructors greeting me and my son every time i drop off and pick up. Also, they knows I'm deaf and they willing to cooperate wit me through writing that help me understand what going on in school and also they did send me message through app. Lastly, I likes when they post note how does my son doing at school and also, they took a picture and/or video for my son doing in school."
"Mr Wes, Ms Carrie, and Ms Laura are our favorites. School is a safe environment. Kids are encouraged to learn and play at the same time."
"We have had a consistently extremely positive experience with the school and the staff. We've seen such amazing growth in our girls since they have been there this past year."
"I feel like it’s a great school, however the prices keep going up and I feel like the quality of care stays the same. My daughter is only two and it’s becoming frustrating for me and my husband that the school keeps asking for more money. You guys have Fall pre registration in March which is another $100+, then there are summer fees and also the regular rate. I’m disappointed because I feel like it shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg to send your child to a nice daycare. The reason we stay is because my daughter is happy at La Petite. I don’t however feel like she’s any further advanced in her learning then she would be anywhere else and there are options closer to us that aren’t quite as expensive."
"La Petite Center 7100 has been a wonderful experience since we moved here. While we were looking for a home, we did flex passes - and they always treated my children as regular students. Starting last April we have been full-time, and since September, my one son attends on says that he does not have kindergarten. I love the center and staff so much, that even though it is less expensive to put my older child at the YMCA this summer, he will be back at La Petite full time. The teachers there are professional and extremely caring, a rare combination. The center always feels happy when I drop off or pick up my kids, and if they are having a rough day someone is always there to support them. I cannot recommend this center/staff enough."
"I love LOA! The teachers and other staff all know my child by name, they are all friendly and helpful, and want her to succeed. She has gained so much attending this school, from social skills to knowledge of signs, colors, animal sounds, how to say please and thank you, etc."
"The parking in the lot is tough sometimes. People park along curbs in space that is for driving and not parking, making it occasionally difficult to maneuver through the lot."
"Overall good. I wish there was more meaningful communication with her teachers. I feel kind of disconnected. I brought up issues with them not using the communication app. Director was concerned. Main teacher said she would, but there was little improvement."
"This school is great! The only thing we would change is brightwheel. It doesn’t email or work outside a smartphone. It is difficult to get some updates that are being sent from staff."
"See comment related to random price increases with basically no warning/communication."
"We all love La Petite in Glen Carbon! We could not have asked for a better experience!"
"La Petite Glen Carbon has exceeded my expectations! The curriculum is amazing. All of the staff members so very friendly. The balance between learning and playing is just right. Definitely a place I would recommend to families with young children! "
"VERY clean and organized! Assistant director was great! Questions were answered thoroughly . Staff was very friendly. Caregivers seemed wonderful. Would recommend a follow up call/email. And more of want or desire for that child to be signed up!!"
