"Overall positive. I am concerned about how they withhold snacks from schoolage children based on the overall room's behavior."
"The teachers are very nurturing and attentive to my child’s needs."
"Positive! We love La Petite. Exceeded all expectations."
"The director and teachers are very friendly! They show a genuine interest in the well-being of my child"
"Overall we’ve had a great experience! The teachers are so warm and nurturing to our baby girl - she gets excited at drop off because she knows the love and attention she’ll receive from her teachers. It makes leaving her for the day a little more bearable."
"The director and assistant director are amazing, engaged and genuine with me and my children. Ms Toni the Pre-K teacher is truly special and so dedicated to her job and the children. I could have not asked for a better Pre-k experience for my child. I do sometimes have concerns about the 2-3 year class. The lead teacher in that class is wonderful and is great with the children. It’s the supporting teachers that have caused me to have some concerns with the unsanitary situation I mentioned earlier and the level of attention and supervision paid to my child and the other children when the lead teacher is not around during pick up an other times."
"A warm, safe and friendly environment- I know my kids are going to have fun, be active and learn through out their day at La Petite."
"The director is always super nice and in a cherry mood. Staff is always welcoming. My son loves this daycare"
"overall great experience, the director and teachers are all always friendly, joyful, and caring"
"The staff is generally super friendly. They are very flexible and reasonably priced. The biggest issue is the parking lot can be bad at busy times, and it’s dark."
"I can't speak more highly of La Petite of Richmond! All the teachers are amazing. I had no hesitation dropping my 5-month old son off on his first day. He's now 14 months and I am still as happy as ever with the staff at this location. Everyone (including the directors) take a huge personal interest in every kid there. Rooms are meticulously cleaned, the children are well cared for and I can see every day the results of the teaching and exploration that goes on at La Petite. My husband and I happily take on a 40 minute round-trip commute just to keep our son at this location. I tell every new and future parent that they should enroll their child here!"
"I like the staff and always feel welcome and positivity when I am there. However I worry about the lack of consistency in my child’s daily schedule particularly around feeding and naps. I recognize that this may have more to do with my child than with the efforts of the staff but it’s hard to know. I have also seen several instances of babies asleep in odd places (like in the exersaucer) which makes me wonder why they are being left to get so overtired that they fall asleep wherever they are before being moved to a crib."
"A wonderful journey for my daughter from two year to Pre-K..friendly staff and great in-school and after-school activities/programs."
"Overall has been positive but there has been a decline in the last year in terms of staffing, curriculum, and safety"
"Ultimately disappointed in the change to infant classroom- combining infant and toddler care. Informing parents of the change after the change had occurred is terrible communication. There is also very poor communication about illness occurring in the school. Posting every communicable disease on the office door does nothing to help a parent understand if their own child is at risk. If disease is occurring in a certain classroom those parents should be notified directly (through app, email etc.)"
