"We couldn’t be happier with our family’s experience here. Our daughter has been enrolled at this location since she was six months old and it has been incredible to see how much she has flourished. Her social skills and comprehension is off the charts. The biggest reason we love this school is how much they have helped her with her confidence and communication skills. When problems arise she will ask questions and think through how to solve the problem. The staff is always friendly and attentive. They are always quick to bring up any concerns or observations in the classroom. My daughter always comes home with a fun new story about what they did together and what she learned.I am a great Mom but I am just not an educator like Dana and her team. They have made such a comfortable and nurturing learning environment that I never would have been able to provide the same kind of foundation for my daughter as they have. I will forever be grateful for the great care they have shown our family."
"We love La Petite, the teachers have been with our daughter since she was 3 months old, and she has good friends there as well. I truly appreciate the love and care they have for my daughter. They are always available to chat, and I am never worried about her care when she is there.This year has been exceptionally difficult with all the health risks across the world, but I trust they are doing everything they can to keep themselves and the children safe and healthy.I have loved this school since we had her there on day one."
"The teachers are very caring and our daughter has blossomed. She comes home excited about her day and can’t wait to go back to school."
"Generally, my son walks into school on his own and comes out happy. He does not show any signs of distress going to La Petite and I think he really enjoys this center. I know there are great things going on because of that! Again, due to Covid as a parent I feel more disconnected than ever from his teachers and daily updates because I have limited restrictions. I support the safety and health protocol and feel parents needs to stay out of the building as much as possible, however that makes it hard and I think teachers need to be really intentional with the parents through all of this....not to discount how very busy and hard they work."
"The teachers are caring and kind. Sometimes communication from leadership or national messages are not as timely or clear. For example right now I’m not confident I know who my kids teachers are."
"We appreciate the COVID-19 safety and cleanliness changes, but miss talking to the teachers. Brightwheel makes it easier, but it's not quite the same. I wish I could hear from the teachers how my older son did each day. Even if it's just a quick little thing he said or helpful action he took. If he's misbehaving or struggling with anything, I haven't heard of it."
"I really love the teachers. They’re so kind and attentive. I also love the activities the school does for the kids ie pajama day etc. I also love the brightwheel app, it helps me feel apart of my child’s day."
"The teachers are very nice and happy, but we have been unhappy about the curriculum for learning and development and will be leaving the daycare due to lack of stimulation"
"Wonderful teachers and staff. We love the app. Everything always looks clean but the building is a bit run down."
"I wish there was a little more communication from teachers on what to expect in the class and requirements from me. I feel like I usually learn about my child needing something after the fact. I've never had a child in daycare, so I don't know what to questions to ask. I would also like updates on how my child is behaving in class with teachers and his peers. Sometimes I wish I could just observe how the class runs and how he does through the day. I know I'd be welcome to observe, but until I have time for that, I'd like more behavioral updates."
"Great. However although I had to place a reply, I have no idea how teach and director are dressed. I just don’t care and want them to be comfortable to do their job."
"I feel completely safe leave my my children here and my daughters teachers name is brought up all the time at home. She can’t wait to see her and be with her friends!"
"I have a special needs child and everyone here has been so helpful and willing to work with us to make sure she is comfortable, included in everything and gives her the best opportunity to grow and learn. I cant say enough good things about everyone here."
"Very happy to leave my baby with her teachers. I have confidence into them and can go to work without worrying too much about leaving my baby."
"Overall excellent. We had some concerns when she was younger and in the infant room. Turn over of staff for infant and toddler was high which effected our daughter a lot. Since she has been in the 2’s classroom our experience has been much better. I only have had one concern which was one day at drop off the teacher had her cell phone out and was allowing the kids to watch a show on her phone. We pretty strictly limit screen time at home and I have not before seen screens used at school until this time. I was disappointed. If it does happen again it is something I would plan to discuss with the director."
