"Please replace the director. The overall attitude of a school is determined by the leadership. The director does not seem to like her job. We will be leaving as soon as a spot opens in another school."
"We love having our daughter enrolled here. She loves her teachers and is always excited/happy to see everyone when dropped off. Plus, she’s still happy at the end of the day! The teachers are very attentive, caring, and efficient. We love knowing our daughter is in good hands and being taken care of while we’re at work."
"Theresa, Viji and Ananya have been wonderful with us and we are very comfortable reaching out to them with our concerns. They have always been very understanding and accommodating."
"I love this school and staff. My only recommendation is to update the rooms with new floors. Though I see how often the rooms are cleaned and sanitized (multiple times throughout the day), the floors look worn. (And parents pay a lot of money)."
"I have loved the experience from 0-2. The facility is safest, closed off from view from outside. Teachers and staff are all wonderful. We do love it here and plan to have our son here at an early age. We are only considering changing for our daughter based on price. I am concerned about the change from 2 to 3 room and whether the price is worth it any longer at that stage."
"Great school, amazing and loving teachers."
"We love the director and teachers. They have truly become like family looking after our children these past years."
"Teachers are great! I only wish they didn’t trade the primary ones out to other rooms. Affects the kids moods, naps etc"
"The school and staff are great. The cost is too high and I can not afford to send me son."
"My older child also went to this school and we've had a wonderful experience then as well. I'm always comfortable bringing my children to this school and being confident that they will be safe, taken good care of and experience a nurturing environment."
"Our experience with La Petite Pleasanton has been nothing short of amazing. We are sad to leave the school due to relocation. The Director, Assistant Director and all of the teachers and aides my son has had since we enrolled him at 18 months have all expressed and demonstrated concern and care for my child's well being, safety and happiness. They were also very accommodating when he was diagnosed with Celiacs by sharing the weekly menu and allowing us to bring food from home that resembled what other children were eating. As parents the diagnosis was a challenging time and we were extremely thankful for the support we received from everyone at the school. My son has benefited tremendously from his experience at La Petite also. When he was shy, his teachers encouraged him to use his voice and participate in activities. All in all, they worked with him to help him become comfortable in his own skin and we have observed an amazing transition in how he now engages with others compared to when he first enrolled. As I said initially, we are leaving due to relocation. Had we remained in the area, we would have stayed at La Petite through Kindergarten."
"Lovely staff, polite and ready to listen. Our baby is always happy and has a big smile when we enter the daycare. He looks forward to getting into his class and that gives us the comfort and confidence."
"We love the teachers! They take such great care of my infant son and he loves being there with them."
"Great. I do love it but feel a bit disconnected from staff. I would love to have opportunities to get to know everyone better and to be able to discuss my little one’s progress more frequently."
"Need better care and to get what we pay for"
