"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!"
"In my experience La Petite has nice and friendly teachers with a rude and combative director who has failed to resolve issues we have. If other options were available, we would pursue them."
"Please clean the bathrooms!!"
“Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ll work to make sure that this issue is taken care of. ”
"She loves it!! She is excited to go! We love her teacher! She is so caring"
"I do want to say thank you to every staff member at La Petite Kirkland because I know they care very much about the children and are trying very hard to create a great environment for them. This is a hard job and they give so much effort and energy to the kids! I'd really like to see La Petite Corporate provide more support to the individual schools so they could pay staff more and keep good employees and have the additional services I've mentioned. Thank you for listening."
"We have had nothing but positive outcomes from this great group of people"
"Teacher turnover is always a problem. I hate losing good teachers but I recognize that it often happens in this industry that people move on. My overall experience has been very positive due to good leadership in management. I know everyone works hard to care for our children. I’m thankful to them."
"Great! I feel like the teachers truly care for my child and his wellbeing. I trust that they have his best interest at heart."
"In toddler, my daughter has a good but show adaptation. Then, the first time in twos was horrible, the teacher always was frustrated and stressed, but now, Miss Liz and Miss Joselene are the best, they are very sweet, pretty active, they love kids and kids love them. My daughter has learned a lot with them! They are the best teachers!"
"Loving caring school. Very clean and wonderful place for my children. I would just like more parent teacher conferences"
"There is a teacher in the class after my daughter’s current class who I don’t particularly care for as I see her interact with the kids. She is very loud and doesn’t seem to understand typical child development. I haven’t seen her in about a week, however, so I’m hoping she is no longer there. Otherwise, we have zero complaints. We have been very satisfied with the care and education our daughter is receiving and our son is already enrolled for when he arrives. Our daughter never ceases to amaze us when she shows us her skills and things she has learned at school. Her pediatrician is impressed with her development as well and I attribute it to all the activities La Petite does with her."
"When the staff stays it’s nice. It’s tough due to so much turnover. Young kids need stability and it’s better for the parents as well as the teachers learn the kids and what each kid needs in order to succeed."
"We have been very happy with the school! The teachers are wonderful, and we are happy knowing that our little fellow is in such caring and competent hands."
"Good overall. I feel the director has really tried to improve the facility over the last two months. I imagine if she had a larger budget she could make a larger impact to the aesthetics. The staff are very kind. I would love to see more educational opportunities offered to them. I would pay more to have the child teacher ratio improved (more teachers, less kids)."
"Very kind and respectful staff. This schools desires more money. The staff desire more money and support. I think everyone at this location is doing the best they can with the resources they have. I think they would exceed expectations if they received more resources."
"Overall is an ok experience. Our son usually has fun and learn new things every day. What I think it is a huge issue is the lack of communications and engagement between staff with parents and more when the kids are toddler or younger (they do not communicate verbally yet). I expect this will change with a new Director, and a different management style. Thanks"
