"Ms Chelsea has been a wonderful addition! I'm a bit bias though. She was the director at my older daughters La Petite as well. I just really appreciate the clear communication and stable procedures she brings to her centers. I also love the staff, they're all friendly and even teachers who haven't had my son in their class tell him good morning or goodbye."
"Our experience has been wonderful. Our daughter really enjoys going to see her friends and spend time with her teachers. The updates that we get throughout the day make us feel more connected and engaged, and we love seeing our daughter play and learn. Everyone at the school is warm and welcoming, and we couldn't be happier with our choice."
"La petite academy has been a very professional and understanding daycare for my daughter and I."
"Attentive, caring teachers."
"After my discussion with The assistant director, I was unsatisfied with the lack of professionalism, the lack of cleanliness and exercised procedures to maintain a healthy and safe environment amongst other things were not present.
The assistant director went as far as stating she hasn't walked the facility ( in that room) for two days, the conditions of the bathrooms were unsatisfactory, which led me to believe there is a lack of accountability to maintain the upkeep of the facility along with the safety of the children.
The condition of the room that as shown to me was well over 2 days of filth.
You couldn't determine whose creams or items belonged to whom. (no labels)
Along with, when I picked up my son right after lunch, before nap time, he was laying down on his mat with unclean hands.
Why wouldn't they would fail to get the children cleaned up before laying on their cots?
When I had a SCHEDULED tour at this location over a month ago this was not the condition that was presented to me.
Thankful that I was able to take awareness in the real conditions of the facility before it impacted my child negatively.
I've worked in childcare in the past for 8 years and these are things that are UNACCEPTABLE!
Parent are placing their trust for the care of their children in the hands of these caregivers and paying alot of money weekly to be able to go to work to provide for their families and their minds should be at ease when their child is dropped off.
THE PROBLEM starts with leadership and the solution starts with leadership.
Your center is a reflection of You. Chelsea is the director, is a very sweet girl, however that doesn't cancel out the conditions of the classrooms and the lack up up-keeping standards within the facility.
I hope their can be a rapid change, and my review will open up awareness into this matter. Until then I would not recommend anyone to this facility!"
"Years ago i loved this school because of the friendly staff, the curriculum that was actually taught and the cleanliness of the center. My issues were addressed and resolved, there was constant communication and actual learning going on. Now it seems the rooms are out of control, there is no communication from teachers or management and concerns are not taken seriously. You literally can not walk to the school age room without stepping on toys, books and other things all over the floors in the other rooms you have to pass through. If my daughter was younger and still in a developmental stage of her life there is no way i would let her go to this daycare the way it is now."
"Since Ms Chelsea came back, our experience has been great."
"Everyone there is so welcoming!!! Y'all are awesome!!!"
"I love the original teachers. They are the same ones that was there when my daughter started six years ago. They became a family to us."
"I am always greeted so friendly by the staff, they seem to really love all of their kids even in moments of chaos. I watch the livestream quite often and on it for long periods of times and have not once seen a teacher express their frustrations. It’s a good feeling to see my child being taken care of and the staff remaining calm through the chaos ."
"I feel my child is safe and enjoys his stay. There is more screen time than I would like. I would have liked to have walked my child into the classroom on the 1st day of school/daycare although COVID is still around, like I have done during peak-COVID times at other facilities. I wish more arts and crafts were brought home each day."
"My experience has been wonderful. All of the teachers/staff have been great and take awesome care of my child. She's been there since she was 8 weeks old and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love each one of them and appreciate the safety, care, and compassion they have shown myself and my daughter."
"The staff is ALWAYS nice, personable and friendly. I would like to interact more with my child's teacher. Maybe a parent - teacher conference once a month. My child has been injured a few times and I had to request the incident report...and I would received conflicting story as to what happened, This is unacceptable."
"We loved this school when it was ran by Miss Donna. She ran an immaculate, caring, tight ship. Since her leaving, something has changed and does not feel as warm and inviting. Quite a few wonderful teachers left when she left."
"There are several teachers at this school who really care, but unfortunately, most of the more experienced teachers who knew how to teach have been moved to other locations or promoted. Many teachers do not have the training or experience to provide solid curriculum, unless La Petite were to provide them with planning time each day, and ready-to-use curriculum resources. With a few exceptions, I do not believe sequential teaching and learning is happening at this La Petite location. We are paying preschool prices for a daycare experience."
