"We love our second family and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The teachers and management are so friendly and I know that my children are having fun, learning, safe and in a positive environment."
"This LPA has an amazing staff on teachers and a wonderful director. I feel good about leaving my daughter here and she loves going here."
"It was unfortunate that I witnessed my child get pushed off the tricycle he was using by another child. One teacher was carrying a child and the other was sitting talking to another did not see what was happening. I ran over but he was already on the floor by the time I reached my child."
"You need a more welcoming staff members at all times in the front of the office. Teacher/Parent conferences will be nice. I would have loved to have met the teachers. I don't know who the teachers are or who is working with my daughter."
"First of all I want to say that the staff are great with the children and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a daycare. With that being said, the rates are very high for a “school” that doesn’t help children prepare for kindergarten. I have always had high expectations that my child would learn the essential preschool basics which were said to be taught in their curriculum. Things such as writing his name, recognition of letters and numbers and some words. Many times at pick up I would witness that certain children were acting in ways that shouldn’t be accepted. I would hear of a child screaming at, spitting, hitting, and kicking teachers daily with nothing being done. La petite was good while it lasted for us but it definitely has become alarmingly busy in some classrooms and it just isn’t the same. "
"Every staff member and teacher is amazing. They care about the children and also clearly get along with each other. The director Sam is great at what she does and leads in a positive and loving manner. You can tell she loves what she does!"
"I love how amazing the staff is! My child loves coming to school!"
"We’ve had a very good experience so far! My daughter is very comfortable attending La Petite, and with all of her teachers. She loves the meals provided, the play structure, and she has learned so many new things through all of the fun ways they teach the kids."
"Its been okay. Just okay. Would love to rave about La Petite, but there is nothing to rave about. Prices go up constantly, anything extracurricular costs more money, etc. I get the vibe that this is a corporate run school with all the excuses about division this, division that as to reasons why my fairly reasonable requests and/or expectations are not met. I could even stomach most of this stuff if I truly felt it was about the kids. There are definitely some teachers who are engaged and care, but most do not, or don't show it very well. As a business, you could do better. As a business caring for our children, you could and should be significantly better."
"La Petite use to be the best in the whole Santa Clarita valley. The first two years with Sam acting as sole head of the location made it as great as it was. Flexibility, accommodations, and care for my children and myself is what made this locations the best out of 12 locations we looked at. In the past year with how La Petite has been slipping, I don't even think it ranks in the top 5 anymore. I am disappointed at the massive loss in stature and position. La Petite set the standard before and it can't even meet its own standard anymore while other still strive to beat it."
"We have been really happy with how personable each staff member has been with our family. It’s become a second lil family for our son and we feel really comfortable at this school"
"I love the teachers! They are so welcoming and very active and very good with helping my child when his emotions get the best of him! It’s very comforting to know I can leave my child in an environment he feels loved and safe. I love this school and the teachers !"
"As agreeable by other parents I have spoken to, many of the newer teachers (3 years or less) bring 25% of the attention and care of the longer term teachers we have grown to love."
"Team is loving and nurturing with children!"
"While the teachers are warm, friendly, and responsive the curriculum/supervision in the school-aged room is lacking. Especially during their summer program, the amount of screen-time children are allowed to have is shocking. Also, the parking lot is a disaster and a stressful way to end a long day upon pick-up."
