"My overall experience has been great. My son is developing well. He enjoys being there and his teachers are great with him. Ms. Diane and Ms. Shelah are very nice and engages with the parents all the time. They are also very hands on and are in the classrooms as well."
"I could not ask for more from this school. I feel that my kids will be well cared for and loved and safe while I'm at work everyday. The Directors and teachers are amazing, we have been here for about 9 years and are going to miss it so much!"
"We absolutely love the school and staff and would highly recommend this center to anyone!"
"La Petite in Sterling has been a stellar daycare for my kids! Miss Diane and her staff are absolutely AMAZING! This has been the best daycare we have experienced in this area."
"Push for additional costing programs (like music) often leaves us feeling like it’s just a business, rather than a caring school with my child’s best interests as a priority. Overall the teachers do their best and that’s why we’re still using this school."
"I wish the school would offer more variety in food options and learn more about baby lead weaning."
"Friends in the school left bc of teacher ratio and cost."
"Great environment. Great teachers. Great curriculum"
"I love the school and the staff. I don’t care for the pricing or some of the filthy practices (teachers don’t blow noses, they let snot run into kids’ mouths. They touch food with their hands. The bathrooms are undesireable. I have a concern that the teacher that works in the classroom my daughter will move to next year has an issue with temper/patience. I spoke to the director, and she said everyone is aware, and that teacher has been spoken to about the attitude issue (yells at kids sometimes). I hope this issue is resolved before my child moves into that next class. I have also seen the temperamental teacher be very nice, so maybe she just has bad days. Overall, I love the school for my child and have no intention of leaving again. The current teacher in the 2’s room (Miss Ally) is amazing. My daughter and I love her so much. Hope she sticks around. Also, Miss Diane (director) is always open to talking. I love that about her. Very approachable!"
"It’s been rough. Our children are loved by their teachers, but have been consistently sick since they have been enrolled. My child used to come home with dirty clothes from crawling on a floor that had not been properly cleaned. I’ve watched a teacher remove a pacifier from another child’s mouth and place it directly into my child’s mouth without so much as rinsing it first. I’ve picked up my child multiple times to her watching YouTube videos on her teachers iPad and also have dropped off my child to a teacher propping an ipad up for the children to watch. I limit screen time at home, there is no reason for screen time at school when I am paying for a curriculum."
"General experience is fine. Some inconsistencies with communication. Some missing clothes and pacifiers but ok otherwise."
"We love it!!!! Best teachers ever!"
"Director and teacher create a safe and loving environment for the kids when I am at work."
"Our experience with La petite Academy has been a positive one. We are new to the school and still adjusting but we appreciate the efforts of the staff."
"We have experienced mostly very positive interactions at this school, and our child enjoys being here."
