"My experience has been generally well. Some minor issues but nothing major."

"I love LP Merriam- it would be a bit cheaper for my kindergarten daughter to stay in the afternoon program at her elementary school, but I pay more for her to be at LP after school because no one is going to care for her like they do"

"Not happy with the security, saftey and overall communication. Some of the teachers in the infant room are absolutely wonderful and communicate well with us, while others seem to be overwhelmed by the care of infants. It seems like there are many days where they are short staffed and the director has to fill in distracting her from monitoring the facility the way it needs to be monitored. Some staff in other rooms concern us, we've seen them be aggressive with babies who can barely walk and talk and who probably should not be working with children (short fuses). I dont want my child to attend one of the rooms with the staff they currently have in place and we are trying to find a new place for care as soon as possible/before she transitions to another room. Im concerned with saftey of the decisions the director makes and the communication."

"This school has been a great help to me and my child.My daughter is well taken care of.My concernes are well listened and her teacher is great !!"

"Jill is an AMAZING director. The school has had more turn over lately than I would like, but I do not attribute that to the director. I would like to see more stable staffing, but I know Jill is working to create that."

"Pros: good teachers, clean, great location, has surveillance security system. Cons: expensive, program/curriculum is same as others."

"I love how my daughter loves this school and points out all the time when we drive by it is her school and asks if she can go today! I like the updates I get on the app it makes me feel like I know how her day is going and less guilty I can't be with her knowing she is being taken care of. I like how she learns something new every time she goes everyone tells me she talks really well for her age and seems to be really finding her own voice! She comes home and likes to quiz us on what she knows! I feel like it is worth the money to know she is safe, happy, and learning."

"Jill and all of the staff at our La Petitie (Antioch and Shawnee Mission Parkway) are great. We are very happy with our experience at LPA."

"Love the staff (including director)"

"Jill is an amazing director. We also can not say enough great things about: Autumn and Karen from the infant room, Jalessha and Diana from the toddler 1 room and Lizz and Ana from the toddler 2 room. We know our kids are well cared for, loved, and safe everyday."

"Our overall experience with this LaPetite has been VERY positive. The Director has always been very responsive to our needs, questions and concerns. Most of the teachers have been wonderful for our son as well. It's evident that they care for him and want to help him do well."

"This school is a cheerful, happy place that is apparent when you walk in. We greatly value the long-term, experienced teachers who seem to truly enjoy their jobs working with kids."
