"Teachers are caring and hard-working. I love the Precioustatus app that gives updates in real time, along with photos. I appreciate the curriculum and the structure of the program."
"I have had an amazing experience so far at La Petite. The staff is extremely caring of my daughter and really got to know her. Mahuya, Kirsten and Michelle are her main teachers. They show her care and love that exceeds my expectations. I feel lucky to have found a daycare like La Petitie."
"I love this school and the teachers! They are loving to my child and flexible with our schedule. Couldn't ask for a better place!"
"La Petite Academy has been the best decision for our daughter. Every single staff member is friendly and truly cares about your child. The curriculum has helped our daughter learn and grow so much. We are amazed at how many new things she has learned. The pricing is very reasonable and it's so wonderful that meals are provided (and they're healthy). Our child is vegetarian and they have never had a problem catering to her needs. The open classroom concept has made it so much easier for our daughter to transition to a new class because she is already familiar with the environment, teachers, etc. The precious status app is such an awesome feature where we are kept up to date on everything throughout the day. They keep you well informed of every diaper change, snack, meal, child's mood, activities and even send a daily picture or two. We have been so pleased with La Petite since day one and our daughter absolutely loves going to school to learn, play and socialize with friends."

"It has been great. After moving to Santee we went to local Kidacare and were very disappointed. After one month we went to the La Petie in Poway."
"The director did not do a good job answering questions. She knew very limited information and it seemed to be a school that pushed children into a schedule rather than adapting to the kids. I really hated the transitioning program. I liked the apps and the curriculum but am not willing to enroll my child into a school that is so cramped, especially for a baby learning to walk. The director also gave away open positions to parents touring rather than people on a wait list and/or gave very little time for parents on the wait list to respond. Not a very good vibe."
"We cannot say enough excellent things about LPA #7238. The directors and teachers all have a genuine love and caring heart for the children that you can always see. Love that the teachers from different age classes go above and beyond to make sure a child walks safely or holds on to a hand to not be alone. We love how the school provides a smooth transition for our child in progressing from one classroom to the next. It gives our child the ideal loving and nurturing environment at this young age. Moreover, the art projects, outdoor time, and reading help provide my child with the structure that will be a strong foundation for her future. A big thank you to LPA directors and teachers for all that you do for the children."
"The teachers in the infant program are wonderful! Especially Ms Martina and Ms Gaby. All the teachers in that program work incredibly hard! The program needs to adopt better practice ratios, as opposed to simply squeezing by with the state minim of 4:1. Also the environment/program needs to be redesigned to promote healthy sleeping habits. Helping create healthy babies should be a priority while crafts and outside play should be secondary. (When the staff are getting ready for outside play, all babies have to be awake due to staffing requirements. This is no fault of the teachers, but a fault of the design of the program. There is not enough staff provided for some of the babies to be inside napping, while others are outside playing; therefore a tired baby is forced to stay awake.) Also, I believe the daycare should be prorated. There were several weeks my son only attended 1 or 2 days, but I still had to pay $388 for only a days worth of care.I have taken my son out of this program."
"Very good. My daughter is thriving. I told Director that I would be willing to talk with prospective parents as a reference."
"The teachers and curriculum are great. However, the school needs new carpets, rugs, paint and an overall refresh. Its look doesn't match the cheerful look that school should have. The kids are on the floors a lot of the day and they look old and gross. The sabre springs location which is 10 minutes away is so much more updated and cheerful. Please spend some money updating the Carmel mountain road location."
"I liked that everyone was happy, pleasant and kind. The playground for each age group was very nice. I liked how the schedule for the children and how they want to make sure each child meets their milestones. It looks like a happy and safe environment."
"It was very good experience. I felt comfortable an all my questions are answer"
