"Since I first started taking My grandchild to La Petite. It has given us a great experience with the Teacher and Staff. We are so blessed. My grandchild has been attending la Petite for over a year and a 1/2. He has only miss school when he is very I'll"
"We love this school. There is not much turnover in the staff and the staff and students are diverse, making it ideal for our child. Liza is the absolute best director and is another major reason we choose to remain enrolled despite the 30 minute drive to the facility."
"The teachers and staff here are amazing. They show genuine excitement to see my child every day, even teachers from other classes. The curriculum is great, and I can see my child making progress in just about every aspect. I'm really happy we chose La Petite on Potranco!"
"Our general experience has been excellent. Liza is great and I think her leadership cascades down to the rest of the team. Literally, the only change I can think of is regarding peanut butter. Our child refuses to eat it because it is not sunbutter. We realize some kids have allergies, and respect that. Is a survey done to in fact confirm that anyone has allergies at the school? It's disappointing to know that the food itself has been tainted to the point where our child is afraid of it."
"The staff are amazing. They make a point of greeting/saying goodbye to my child and I, and are always willing to listen and help with any questions or concerns we have."
"Very positive. Liza is the absolute best!!!!"
"Care and education is very good communication with parents is poor and conflicting information is given it is very irritating"
"We have loved all of the previous teachers our son has had until the classroom he is in now. We are hoping the new teachers that were hired stay and provide a loving and safe place for our son to continue to thrive."
"We absolutely love La Petite and Ms. Liza and staff. Every single teacher Lila has had has been amazing. Her current teacher is Mr. Isaiah and he is absolutely amazing. He is great with the kids. I love that he talks to them on their level but not “baby” talk. As a teacher I know how important this is. I feel like my child has grown even more having him as her teacher this year."
"Staff is friendly and helpful. They answer question and are willing to help in any way possible."
"I have enjoyed the welcoming attitude. Staff show a caring atmosphere. Very professional. Curriculum is outstanding. My grandchildren have responded and learned so much in a short time."
"They change out teachers often, but the problem clearly is in management. This school needs to be monitored better, just a bigger issue waiting to happen."
"This is a great place and awesome staff!"
"I find issue with charging for art projects. On a normal daily basis, I receive nothing that my daughter has done. I get a paper or project an average of 2 a MONTH. Then, at Christmas and other special times, I have an option of a handprint or footprint project but I am charged for it.This school also loves to have new fin activities, get our children to love them, and then announce that if our children would like to continue this activity, it will cost an additional $15-$25 a WEEK. At one point , there were 5 sign to sheets in the front area for classes that cost extra."
"Generally, our experience has been good. We like Liza a lot and trust her judgement. Our biggest concerns have been regarding our child nearing transition to the next class, getting bored, and causing problems. It'd be great if children that appear to be ready to move on could move classes quicker. I realize there are teacher/student ratios, but it would probably cut down on incidents due to boredom. Also, I don't mind hearing about challenges that our child is causing, but I do not like being told negative things about my child that are out of my control (example being my child is acting up due to boredom). Some of the teachers have had less tact when answering, how was my child today?"
