"I truly can’t say enough good things about our family’s experience at LaPetite Powell. Shelly and all of the teachers are like extended family now and I am so eternally grateful that we found such an outstanding school to enroll our girls. They have both been there since 6mos-1 year old and they are now 4 and 6. Knowing my girls are cared for by such amazing, kind teachers is truly priceless."
"We have absolutely loved the staff. We wish the staff could make more executive decisions rather than going through the corporate ladder for approval as they have a true understanding of their own school. The staff is why we have stayed for so long!"
"We absolutely love the school! The staff is amazing andnthe environment is amazing. We’re confident that they have our child’s best interest in mind."
"Overwhelmingly positive. My child feels safe and loved and truly enjoys going to daycare every day. We have really appreciated the support of the teachers, director, and administrative staff addressing all of our questions and needs."
"We've had a great experience at LaPetite. They communicate extremely well! The curriculum has proved engaging to our two year old, the development changes he's experienced since starting are apparent to us every day! The staff are experienced and trustworthy and the center has a good vibe. We love it!"
"We have loved every teacher we’ve had at the school. My older son misses his teachers. I feel like everyone there truly cares about my kids and is excited to see them."
"Overall, I have many positive thoughts on the school. There are very kind people here who I think genuinely care about children. There are a few that I do not necessarily connect with which is OK too. My main concern is my children have the best, most loving, strongest, kindest leaders helping them to become great adults. I also expect them to feel somewhat connected to the teachers and feel love. I also appreciate the willingness of the school to listen to"
"I have had two VERY different experiences with this school. Our 4 year old has been enrolled in the center for almost 3 years. We have always felt very comfortable with his experience. Any minor issues that we had were resolved almost immediately and I've not had any concerns with any of his teachers.Unfortunately, we joined the center with our 3 months old, last year during the height of COVID. We had not met the infant teacher prior to enrolling him but we did get a sit down meeting with her after the first week or two. I didn't get a great feeling about her but I tried to push that aside but we kept butting heads on certain issues. Thankfully we pulled him out about 5 months later, after multiple attempts of trying to work together and not getting anywhere with that teacher. Since then the teacher is no longer at the center. Now that our little one is out of that room, there is a live streaming option, and that teacher is gone, we are very hopeful for the previous experience we had with our older child."
"We have been with LPA- Powell for a very long time (about 10 years between 2 kids). Some teachers genuinely care while others are just collecting a pay check and it shows- all parents can tell those apart through their communications and attitude. The turnover rate seems very high at this location- its frequent someone is hired or quits. Regardless of how many suggestions are made for improvement, nothing seems to ever change. We have only stayed this long due to the location and a select few very caring, passionate teachers whom our kids have grown to love."
"Our direct teacher, miss Denise, has been so caring and loving. I believe she really has my son’s best interest. I will be sad when he loves to the next classroom."
"Teachers have been very good at communication up until COVID and our newborn starting at La Petite. All of the teachers are very caring for the students and have been responsive to my requests and questions."
"The staff has always been very friendly and courteous. I do get the feeling that they genuinely care for my children. I am disappointed with the way things have been handled since Covid, but I think that is more a corporate thing and not specific to this center. I don't ever get to speak to my children's teachers, and my daughter transitioned to pre-school recently and I have not even been able to meet her teachers. Also, they don't get sent home with their belongings because I am not able to go in to make sure all their belongings make it home with them for the weekend so I can wash it etc."
"We've been very happy with the care provided, staff and consideration given by everyone."
"Extremely good- ms Shelly is the best and her attitude reflects through the school- we miss interacting in person w teachers due to covid but know it’s the right think to do to keep everyone safe"
"I appreciate the caring staff that genuinely love my child. We switched from another provider because he was just a body in a classroom. I appreciate that your school is flexible with my schedule and offer discount for teachers."
