"School was better before all the good teachers left following a strike for better pay in Fall 2023. After all the good teachers left because they were being underpaid (which I agree with!!!), the school has struggled to find new teachers. The new teachers clearly are not interested in child development and education. This is just another job to them. The passion for the children is gone. I have doubts about how safe daycare is and worry about it regularly. I wonder if a different daycare/preschool would be a better option. I feel helpless for how to get back La Petite back to the excellent school it used to be."

"We appreciate the help with potty training in the two's class. We value the flexibility in school hours, and the fact that the school takes care of diapers and meals. We acknowledge that not all schools make this so easy for parents."

"The school has really surpassed my expectations. I really enjoy speaking with their teachers and I can genuinely see they do care about my child's development. They are good at letting me know about any events and if any accidents happen. I appreciate their honesty, and they give my wife and I tips to help improve my child's development at home. My only complaint would be price. Compared to other schools, this school was one of the more expensive schools we looked at."

"I have been sending my child to La Petite since she was 12 weeks old. I feel my child is safe, which was my number one goal. She attended La petite in Indianapolis for her first year and now La Petite South Bend and I am beyond grateful for both facilities. No place is perfect, especially to an over protective mother-but these ladies make every concern feel validated and act upon my worries in order to make me feel comfortable and make sure they provide quality care. I can’t thank La Petite enough for giving my girl genuine love and care when I am working. Thank you La Petite!!!!"

"Services started out great and then gradually declined unfortunately."

"Great school, director, and teachers. Just need to be more diligent about wearing masks during Covid. I wish the carpet in the baby classroom was washed regularly -- It is so dirty that my baby's white onesie turns brown from playing on it. I am sure it contains lots of germs! They do a great job helping my child develop new skills. They take care to make sure she always has a clean diaper. She is read to and played with. They comfort my child when she is upset. Very happy with the care she receives."

"Overall I am extremely satisfied with everything at La Petite Academy. Our kid was in a different place last year and we had nothing but issue after issue. Every day was communication cards about bad behavior, bad language, not listening...etc. We had spoken several times with the teaching staff about where these behaviors were coming from, how we can work together and handle them, etc. Our kid was coming home in tears saying he is sorry for being a bad kid. At La Petite Academy, he loves going to school. He is learning a lot and it shows through his actions and attitude. I wish I had called La Petite years ago."

"My son went to Lapetite from birth to kindergarten and his experience was wonderful. Now my daughter is starting at Lapetite and so far her experience has been just as good."

"Overall the quality of the school is great. Few teachers are really excellent in taking care of my little one. But personally We didn’t like the care from few teachers. Because they don’t really care about my child sleeping and eating. Director is great at providing quality care and listening to my concerns and answers my questions. And Sometimes, I don’t get genuine answers from Associate director. Hope all the teachers provides the same level of quality care."

"Generally things have gone well. My son has been here since my maternity leave ended and he's about to start kindergarten this fall. He's made some great friends, and some of his teachers have been beyond fabulous! If I could've arranged for him to stay with those teachers he connected with the most, I would have, but as in regular school, as you get older you move up in classrooms and teachers change, which is good to get used to. He really enjoys going to school, seeing his friends, and learning new things."

"Really appreciate the experience that we've with the daycare. it is the first time that we send our daughter in a daycare and it has been a great experience for her"

"I always have a good experience every time I come to my child school I have no problems and haven't had any I overall think growing kids is an excellent education center"

"Going back to work after 5 years staying home with my kids, the staff at La Petite really helped make the transition a lot easier for my children and me. The teachers genuinely make me feel like my kids are their favorite, but as I see the interact with other parents, I feel like all the children are their favorites. I am thankful I chose La Petite Academy."

"LaPetite in South Bend has been very flexible in allowing me to bring my child when I need care without having to enroll him full-time. My child loves going to LaPetite when he is not in school which is very reassuring."

"The school is good. Some of the teacher seems apathetic."
