"Maria was very warm and friendly. She welcomed us and remembered our unborn daughter's name. I appreciated her and the friendliness of the other teachers as well!"
"Teachers and Director are very hard workingBut they really really need to have a curriculum for literacy (reading,writing and math) at preschool and pre K level"
"The director is amazing. Shes always working hard and accomodates the needs of the child and parents. Engages in communication. The school overall is good so far as safety, food are concerned except 2 things1. The turnover of teachers is concerning.2. The children only engage in free play. Wish the teachers encourage children in more creative arts and crafts and curriculum based learning and kindergarten readiness and discuss the progress with parents"
"Least expensive in the area and with employer discount. Needs improvement in communication and leadership"
"Overall we love the school and the enthusiasm everyone is showing in taking care of our child. Our only concern is the variation in the level of engagement with infants between some caretakers."
"Good experience with the staff, Staff is extremely warm and friendly . They show interest in the child . They have tried to accommodate the food allergy . Disappointed in the lack of curriculum, educational activities for early preschool . They are just engaged in free play all day , not learning when they are quite capable"
"Overall we are happy and continue to recommend the school to others. There are issues, but some are out of their control. They have been very supportive of my son with special needs in trying to find ways to support him."
"Caretakers have been warm and communicative."
"It's been great in terms of the interactions between the teachers/directors and my children. But the turnover created by mismanagement of the teachers in relation to the amount and frequency of payment is absurd."
"My kids enjoy to be in school, every day learning some new words. And communicating with staff. That's what I appreciate "
"LPA have done a tremendous job at maintaining stability and education for our child whilst navigating the renewed health and safety precautions related to the pandemic. The teachers care deeply about our child's wellbeing and learning, and our child has thrived at the school even whilst transitioning into a new classroom. His verbal skills have blossomed over the last few months, and he is being intellectually stretched appropriately by the curriculum. I trust the school completely to manage my child's safety and care, and appreciate the level of communication and dialogue with the staff that keep us updated on our child's progress and daily activities."
"Practice better nurturing behaviors and less harsh disciplinary actions towards toddlers"
"We have never had any sort of issue with this school. Anytime we had a concern, it was promptly addressed and corrected. The teachers and director are all very caring and nurturing and we feel comfortable with them. I love that every teacher knows every child in the school and they all seem genuinely connected with the kids. We couldn't ask for a better center and will stay with La Petite until our kids start public school. As a public school kindergarten teacher, I can rest assured that my children will be ready for kindergarten and be successful, thanks to La Petite."
"Staff are fabulous, cameras are very helpful and the app is extremely useful. Drop offs and pickups are seemingly abnormal due to covid, but everyone has adjusted well. The team are always there to chat, greet and welcome our little one."
"Only concern I have is about breakfast timing. My kid's public remote school starts at 8:50 and they don't get enough time to eat. It usually starts around 8:40. I hope it can start before 8:30 am"
"In general we are very happy, we just miss the learning schedule weekly!"
