"Overall a great experience. Both my children have learned so much since the transition from our old daycare. I love that healthy meals are provided and they have space to play inside and outside"
"Now that there is a new director, things seem to be moving in the right direction! Have noticed less of a turn over in staff and everyone seems positive"
"I must say as first-time parents, we were very reluctant (Ok, *I* was very reluctant, my husband was ready for it!) to start Emmett in daycare. So far, we have been LOVING our experience! The teachers know exactly who we are the moment we walk through the door and know who we are there to pick up. The APP feature is wonderful, and I love getting the notifications. ESPECIALLY the activity notifications! It’s still sometimes hard to leave my son in the care of someone else, but when I see pictures of him playing and engaging in so many fun activities, it makes it easier.
We are just so thankful we have a safe place for Emmett to be while we are working, and I can tell how much he is cared for by staff."
"I absolutely love LPA. The entire staff is so welcoming & nurturing. My son is so happy to see his teachers every day & clearly enjoys his time at LPA."
"Over all I have really enjoyed sending both of my children here. The staff is very friendly as is the director and assistant director. I feel very confident my child is well taken care of every day!"
"Very impressed with the quick changes being made over the past few months. Previously there was a lot of staff turn over as well as a switch over with the management team. You can tell the new management and staff are working to build authentic connections, not only just with our children but the families as well. Its been great to see the fun activities planned this summer with fun camp curriculum added "
"While I feel my daughter is safe and happy there, I am overall Less satisfied with la petit than first adventure learning center(who la petit took over) My son had a way better preschool curriculum and stable staff. I felt he was better prepared for kindergarten."
"It was great, then after the buy out, turnover went up and quality went down and recently things are improving alot"
"It has severely gone downhill since it acquired First Adventure. The rates continue to go up and the quality of care continues to decrease. There is often yelling and degrading of the children and bribery to behave. I do not recommend this school to anyone and am thinking about unenrolling my children if I can find a better school."
"The new Director- from the other location- seems to be getting things cleaned up! I know that they have recently lost several employees and all of the management. Hiring quality candidates seems to be a struggle. I do not know what you are paying your employees but it appears that most of them are underpaid! Setting expectations with new hires from the first day of employment seems to be a must- dress code/hygiene/communication expectations. I feel this has been a big miss previously. Teaching teachers to work together as a team, vs one person doing all of the work in the room. Curriculum, and loving environment. These teachers are with my children more than I am. I find myself having to double down at night because I see they are not getting the attention or affection they should be during the day."
"I think there are times when the school is really good. It has a lot of potential, but then there are times like right now where it's not good at all. It's hard to hear from parents who have left the school and how their new experiences are so much better."
"Love the school, but staffing seems to be a problem. I am concerned my kids are not getting the same level of education."
"Honestly the worst child care experience I’ve ever had. Any concern you bring to Audra or Kylee isn’t taken seriously and quickly dismissed. They can never keep consistent staff due to how poorly they treat them. One day my child hadn’t been changed in over FIVE hours and when I brought it up to Audra I was told she would “look into it and get back with me” but never did. This place is truly awful and I would not recommend sending your kids there if you have the choice. STAY FAR AWAY!!"
"I really liked the cleanliness and programs for the two year old classes, but for the 3-4 year old classes, I felt the class was not structured, basic things like greeting kids when they come to daycare and leave the daycare was missing from the care providers."
"I have not felt my kid was well cared for."
