"We have had some enthusiastic, passionate teachers who make a huge difference and we love them. The old director, Kate, was fantastic. Kavina is wonderful— very thorough, helpful, and knows the kids so well so it gives us confidence and trust in her."
"They are very sweet but not organized. Staff has high turn over and their is a lack of accountability or actions when parents bring up concerns. Communication about our child is not a priority. The phone app does not mean you do not need to talk to parents about how a child is doing."
"Great staff - they are so friendly and love on my child. The cleanliness of the facility could be improved."
"My only complain is the cleanliness of the facility. The attention was good and some teachers interaction better than others. But the building overall felt dirty "
"After a horrible experience at anoth establishment, my child switches to this school. He is happier and seems to be thriving in his classroom. He absolutely loves his teacher and now uses his words."
"The staff has been great at welcoming my son and communication to me."
"The director Sarah is always available to speak too me and always has a smile and friendly hello- it’s nice to have a genuine person as a leader there. My child’s teacher Mandy and Alyssa are always friendly. I’m very happy they are apart of my child’s life!"
"I have mixed feelings about the school. The atmosphere is fine, but we have no clue who our child's friends are. Our child doesn't like going to school, which is completely different than where we came from where she was so excited. Also, I don't know who my child's teacher is."
"Generally speaking, La Petite provides good value and is extremely convenient. Our daughter loves her teachers and friends. We trust that she is safe and cared for and her basic needs are well met. Unfortunately, communication is poor. If you expect regular, or even infrequent, updates about your child's personal progress or deficiencies, readjust this expectation before sending your young child to La Petite; in more than a year, we have never received any feedback about our daughter. Also, beware: even if you pay next fall's registration fee in the spring, apparently you risk losing your child's spot for fall if you do not send him/her during the summer, which is a separate fee and is evidently (conveniently) charged after you have already signed up for the following school year. These are the types of nuances that are not communicated and are, perhaps, assumed that parents already know, even with a first/only child in any kind of school. Because our daughter is socially thriving and clearly learning, even if not measured, and because of the convenience in location and scheduling, we continue to send her to La Petite. We wish that their standards for communication and feedback were higher."
"We love the Director, teachers and aides. The new Assistant Director is not a good fit for this school, we believe there are existing staff members in the classrooms that could better serve the school."
"Always positive. I think my child is thriving in the environment and it's providing a learning and growing environment through social scenarios and through play."
"Overall we like the school, but the facilities could use some work. The layout does not provide for distinct classroom areas. It is to open and allows for a very distracted and disjointed environment. Additionally, it seems dirty and cluttered. I see people cleaning in the evenings, but it is still grimy. I feel if the facility was larger to better accommodate the various classroom and number of children, it would be easier to keep it from being cluttered and provide ease of cleaning."
"My child's teacher, Mrs. Mary, is amazing and truly loves every child she works with. Lots of the staff show a strong love for the children and deserve much praise."
"This is a descent school with caring teachers and staff! The hours of care are ideal for working parents. The meals they give children are generally healthy. The only issue that I see is that some of the toddler rooms are cluttered and messy."
"The new director is awesome! I have take my child here prior to her starting elementary school and the differences in the way things are ran is a big improvement. I still use La petite for drop in flex care when schools are closed and I need daycare. I am very happy with the flex care program! Thank you so much for helping working parents!"
