"All of the teachers, especially Sue and Emily, have made me and my child’s experience extraordinary. They take such care with my child and work to meet both of our needs. I value their professional opinions and appreciate all the love they extend to my family. They continually meet my child where they are at behaviorally and emotionally each and everyday. I am grateful that I get to send my child to them."
"Good ones always leave. I think there are some amazing teachers but they are overwhelmed and support is not there. Some teachers and staff are so caring and will go out of their way to provide comfort to child. Some you know it us an inconvenience for them. Never have I seen corporate present to greet or meet with parents."
"Never heard of any teachers doing things to kids like I hear about lots of places"
"We came from another daycare and switched to this one. Staff is always friendly and kind. My daughter's communication skills have improved dramatically since coming to this school. So glad we decided to switch!"
"I chose lapetite because i felt the daycare upheld a higher standard of quality care and education..Also for its safe security practices..I feel my children are safe..As of late im highly disappointed in some of the staff and overpricing for everything and the harrassment we endure from not swiping the children in and out as well and making payments"
"Absolutely love it! I wish the price was less steep--it makes it hard to pull the trigger on going full-time while she's an infant, but that is the only issue I have. They provide wonderful care, and my child hasn't once shown any signs of anxiety or discomfort at being there."
"It's been a pleasant experience so far. My toddler needed a few weeks to adapt to the place and is now quite happy and settled. The teachers show genuine concern and I trust them to take care of my children as well as I expect. A word of caution, It's a bit pricey compared to other schools in the area and doesn't have a generous play area outside. I can overlook these and still like them to remain here"
"In general I would have to recommend LaPetite. My son has had a great time here thus far and you can really tell the difference it's made on him in comparison to other kids his age who haven't been to a structured day care like this one (and by structured I don't mean classroom-style, but more deliberately planned out throughout the day than a simple free-for-all). I have recommended it to my peers who've sought daycare in the area and will continue to do so."
"In general, I have been happy with the childcare provided. I have noticed over the years that there has been a higher turn-over of staff which affects the quality of consistent care given to my children. There have been times when I haven not known the person in charge of my child and no introduction was made (by the staff member or school). I do love the addition of using precious status for providing information, pictures, etc for my child but I also feel like it could be used MORE (like to remind parents of special days - sprinkler day, spirit days). I also think that the pre-K curriculum could have a better focus on kindergarten preparedness (learning/writing ALL letters and sounds, beginning sight works, beginning math)."
"This Lapetite Academy location has always been friendly and loving towards our child and our family. We wouldn't want our child anywhere else!"
"It's an excellent school and my family is very happy here. I do believe the teachers in the infant rooms should be able to wear jeans. It's hard work being up and down all day with young babies and seems unhelpful. When I first visited this daycare school I was surprised they wore dress pants and was concerned that they wouldn't get down on the child's level and play."
"I think overall it has been positive but have not gotten much feedback from the staff about how they are doing. Really only had feedback that has been negative. Have not gotten any feedback with good days on he had a bad day."
"I really love La Petite Academy! My chikdren are very much loved, and well cared for. I am treated respectfully, & have no complaints."
"this school feels very safe, teachers are great, precious status tool is very nice"
"We feel like the staff and director really knows our family. They know our kids well and genuinely care about them."
