"The teachers have been incredible, really focusing on my child's needs and vocal about their performance and accomplishments. The variety of activities provide opportunities for learning and for social development."
"We were saddened to learn of issues raised by the director when the teachers frequently stated our child was doing well with normal issues. We were surprised with the frequency of sending our child home only to learn they had been severely bitten or strangled. We were displeased with the director suggesting a contract modification as an initial intervention, and only discovering additional resources were available upon asking during the meeting where she insisted we sign a modified contract."
"I love the school. The teachers are great, the curriculum is wonderful, and the school is run very efficiently and professionally. The director and assistant director should make more of an effort to engage with the families and at least provide a warm welcome at drop off. We are frequently ignored when we come in the front door even though someone is sitting at the desk. It's not a huge issue and I know this is a business too, but it feels strange not to be acknowledged. I wld appreciate anonymity with regard to this comment."

"La Petite Academy cares about your child's growth."
"Michelle and Aaron are excellent and the rest of the staff are always friendly and professional. The school always looks well-maintained and professional. We did not attend there for preschool due to the high price, but did have both of my sons there for after school care (my other son is 22 so he was there years ago). We returned with my younger son because we always thought so highly of Myra, and Michelle has done a great job filling her shoes. I would love to rave about the after school program there, but the pricing just won't allow me to do so. There is not a single kid from my son's grade in the after school program--and there are over 100 5th graders at GRDC! If you would make some changes to the pricing structure, the after school program could be huge."

"Security system is great, safety concern was a very bad leak in the roof of this facility. I am not sure if my husband even saw it, but I did. It was raining hard the day of the tour, but I strongly recommend a licenced roofer inspect and fix immediately. Cirriculum , enrichment means nothing to me if the roof might cave in. I know that's a bit hyperbolic, but I would be interested in knowing how often maintainace and structural inspections are done on the building, which are somewhat old. I doubt the tour guide has anything to do with these policies so I kinda feel sorry for her needing to be so pushy with in enrollment. I could definitely tell the tour was fairly scripted and she had to meet lots of YOUR bullet points. Excellent tour overall. Fix your buildings would be my only advice. The location is perfect so I am still very interested, but my first baby isn't due until March, so am exploring other options, such as in home childcare or a nanny."
"We have been very happy with this school. We came from another daycare where we felt the teachers were not always engaged. Love the staff and they have made us feel welcome"

"The school hires great teachers. There was a lot of staff turn over in the twos room that made it hard for my son. Perhaps efforts to hire or retain teachers should be re-examined?"

"I would like more teachers in the room s, to hard to potty train with 12 kids and one teacher."
"The staff is excellent. My son loves Mr. Aaron and I appreciate all of his efforts as well. Michelle is doing a great job in her role as director. I always find the teachers are friendly and helpful."
