"Both showing me the formula she kept referring to, as well as telling me how a breastfed baby is hungry every couple hours (which is 10000% NORMAL) made me feel as if #1 even if I refused the solids or formula, the teacher would sneak it to my infant because she does not support my parenting choices, especially breastfeeding and following APA guidelines for the introduction of solids and #2, that the goal was to fill my baby up with whatever they could to make him easier to manage. I did not feel like my child would be well cared for and would likely be stuffed with unnecessary fillers so that he could spend most of the day in the crib. I felt like the teacher was incredibly unfamiliar with breastfeeding in general, and all the staff and directors had to look up if I could actually refuse the purée. It also seems that these teachers do not know or keep themselves updated with ANY APA guidelines, which is unacceptable for people caring for infants."
"The tour guide was very welcoming! I felt very comfortable with her, and felt my son would be treated the same. I'm looking forward to exploring it further!"
"Lead teachers are very caring and nurturing. I feel like my child is in good and safe hands. I genuinely feel like my child is important to the staff. Facilities are clean and organized. Convenient location."
"Zachary loves his teacher, we really like her as well."

"Everyone is so friendly with positive attitudes which help the children thrive in a secure and happy environment - the directors and teachers are very involved with each child, helping them to become confident and educated. I love the family projects that are sent home (like share bear and disguising Mr. Turkey)"
"The people here are very organized, nice, and you can tell they love children. The director knew every person that came in and out the door by their name. I was very impressed with the system to sign in and out and how secure it was. This is by far a safe and happy place for my child."

"Love the school and everyone there. Sophia is a very happy and smart little girl with huge help from La Petite"

"Both my girls love their teachers. It is really nice that they have small classrooms giving teachers a chance to understand and care for each child. I do not feel like we are a number at all. The teachers are the reason why we love this place. The director is a little cold, seems more business and numbers person than the last lady. The teachers are so GREAT!!"
"Honestly, my your was fantastic. I would recommend that you tour without your child/children there so you really have the chance to look around and ask questions without interruption. I also recommend that if you choose to enroll your child/children in La Petite Academy, you ask the person giving you the tour about your child/children visiting for an hour or so the day before they start so that they have the chance to meet the teacher and you can both see how the class operates daily. The school is amazingly bright, very clean and has an open concept which is very comforting. I love La Petite Academy!!"
"When Marilyn Kleen was the Director the school was a tight ship. parent issues were taken seriously and addressed accordingly. Children's care was better and the center seemed to want to help to continue to provide that, to improve and to work with families to the better of the children."
