"Experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Staff has always been kind and helpful. I've never had any issues and any questions I've had get answered. I appreciate that this location provides transportation to local schools. It is the MAJOR reason we have our child at LaPetite. If not for the transportation after school we'd be in a tough spot so we appreciate the option, because not many daycare providers offer it."
"Initially, very positive. Quickly became very negative. A new director with a measure of success being the welfare and development of the children and not how many children she can enroll would easily turn this center around. Again, there is a reason you have so many vacancies. There is a reason an assistant director with over 20yrs devoted to this center is departing."
"I’m not sure why it’s allowed for parents to reuse shoe covers over and over again that’s a sanitary risk. At the cost of attendance the school should be able to afford to replenish after each use"
"The school hasn't been as good with the new director. It's clear teacher morale is much lower and I'm concerned that she is not following licensing requirements. For example, leaving paperwork for all of the children out where it is visible to all. She also kept calling my daughter by the wrong name."
"Great overall. Teachers and admin onsite seem to genuinely care about the safety and well being of students/children. Our 2 year old has increased her vocabulary and willingness to speak to other people aside from parents/grandparents; it has been invaluable in undoing the extremely sheltered infancy she had during 2020-2021 due to the pandemic- a good thing so she's not so wary of people overall!"
"my daughter has been at this school since she was 5 mo old and is about to be 4. we’ve had a wonderful experience throughout the years. her development is a result of the support / structure of this environment."
"The current director, Mrs. Marie is the best we've had. She is kind and patient and really cares for my daughter. She has made a personal relationship with her and is invested in her success. I also really love my daughter teacher, Summer. She is very sweet and patient. Lastly, Mrs. Arlene has been amazing since day 1. She has listened to my concerns and helps to fix them, she is kind and very nice to the kids. For many months I peeked in and saw her patting my daughters back so she would fall asleep. We love this daycare."
"Great school. Director seems to manage teachers, parents and children while setting expectations."
"I feel that the director takes the correct steps to manage staff behavior and performance, as well as collaborates with parents when children are struggling. I'd also like to mention that even in days my son doesn't want to go to school because he is having a tough morning he's always willing to go to the director and she gives him extra hugs to help."
"We love La Petite and would not have Oliver anywhere else!"
"Absolutely love La Petite! I wouldn’t have Oliver anywhere else. I already recommended the Kent location to an attorney I work with; she is looking into it as she attended La Petite as a toddler."
"Love this school. Love the staff. Sterling has a good time when he's there. They are helping him reach milestones like eating solids and drinking from a sippy cup, etc. Love how social he gets to be with staff and other kiddos."
"Generally good. Prices are high, and I'm not positive it's totally worth it, yet. We've just increased his time there this week for the summer break. As long as my son is happy being there we will be ok with it. I love that I can check in on the live stream and see him when I want to. I'm still getting to know the new director, and she's nice. But I miss Abby terribly! She was one of the main reasons why we stayed so long at LP. Love Ms. Arlene, she's so sweet. Overall, it's good. During the school year he's only there Monday mornings for about 30 min. So we will see how the summer goes!"
"Overall a great experience. I feel that my child is safe and well cared for, and that's very important to me. Pick up and drop off is smooth and quick! I am comfortable with how they've adapted to the pandemic. Their guidelines and safety measures are great. Ensuring that my child is in the best care is paramount for me and my husband."
"Absolutely amazing teachers!"
"All the teachers/staff are friendly. I feel they really care about our daughter and making sure she feels comfortable."
